I sat down with Oakland's Top Lawyer John Russo just a day after the Vice Presidential debate between Senator Joe Biden and Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, and to talk about who won the debate, and what Palin's assendency says about American Government and Culture.

We have a difference of views and it centers on the idea that Palin did a terrible job -- my contention. Russo says that in debates one must "hold their ground" make sure their point is gotten across. He says she did that.

My point was that she just repeated talking points and failed on many occasions to answer questions Gwen Ifel asked of her.

What do you think? Watch the video and let me know here.
