There is some value in determining who can think on his feet, but the questions are pretty general and expected. Presidential debates probably had more value back in the day before 24-hour news channels and the internet - before we were bombarded with Presidential Politics at every turn.
I like this thread. Some of the others are hard to get to the substance because of all the gratuitous bashing.  |
It doesn't sound like I missed much by not seeing the debate since I was traveling back from vacation. Not going to bother watching it on YouTube either - I'll just catch up with the VP debate and the other Presidential debates. It was so wonderful to not see campaign ads for 10 days.
