RNC CHAIRMAN DUNCAN RESPONDS TO VICE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE
 
WASHINGTON – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Robert M. “Mike” Duncan released the following statement tonight.
 
“Gov. Sarah Palin showed Americans tonight she has the leadership, drive, and passion for reform to move our country forward alongside John McCain.  Going up against Joe Biden, one of the Senate’s most experienced debaters, Palin clearly demonstrated she has what it takes to be our country’s next vice president.  She brought to light Barack Obama’s tax-raising and surge-opposing record, putting Biden on defense on nearly every issue brought forth tonight.  America’s confidence in Gov. Palin is growing ever stronger; she clearly is an advocate for the hardworking families that comprise our great country.  The true spirit of change lies in the McCain-Palin ticket and it rang powerfully tonight.”
