This week we were asked to go out into our beats and ask people where they wanted to see the country in the next four years. I talked to a lot of great people in Mott Haven and Melrose…some who would talk on tape, others who wished to remain anonymous. I noticed it was hard to get women to talk to me on the record, though many had something to say. I also ran into some people who just thought that didn’t have an opinion that was valid. Some of them gave me the best clips.

I have no clue why so many people seem to believe that Sarah Palin did well last night. She really couldn’t got toe-to-toe with Joe Biden on the issues, all she could do was just repeat the canned spam that someone gave her to read, and most of it wasn’t that great.

I don’t really believe that the terms Hockey-Mom and Joe Six-Pack belong in a formal political debate. To go one step further, wassup with her giving a shout-out to her brother the school teacher? Are you kidding me with this??? Not cool. If Obama had done the same thing in a debate, someone would be ranting about the dumbing down of American Politics. I find that completely appalling.

I don’t care what the rest of the media is saying. Her grade from me for last night’s performance:

A big fat T – for Trailer.

With all of the craziness going on with the economy right now, I decided I would find out what people in my manhattan neighborhood were thinking….
