Sen. Joe Biden proved during last night's vice presidential debate that he not only is prepared to serve as VP, he understands what the job entails.

The vice presidential candidate proved last night once and for all why Sen. Barack Obama chose him as his running mate. Despite tremendous pressure to attack Sarah Palin he showed restraint and stuck to the issues. But more importantly he did more for the equal treatment of the sexes than Sarah Palin did. The emotion he showed discussing the needs of being a single parent and wondering whether your child will live or die was good. You can't imagine that.

Despite what the Republican pundits say today their candidate was not ready. If you are going to govern and be a top leader of the free world you must know the issues. Sarah Palin proved last night that she knows how to stay away from topics and stick to talking points. Biden stuck to his talking points too but he also provided the reasoning behind the issues, the history and the clarification when a point needed greater clarification.

Sarah Palin ran from her job and failed in this aspect.

Biden proved he is ready for the job, Palin did not.
