Angry that debate sucked

How exactly is it a debate if they're not allowed to talk to each other? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard in my life. While we're at it, let's go to the art gallery blind-folded.

I'm beginning to wonder if, in the age of media overkill, do we really need debates?

Seriously, did anyone hear ONE new thing?

Did anyone really change their mind even a little bit by the debate?

Even the media questions their value -- which is why only NBC, of the three on air networks who do news, carried the debate.

It's also why they didn't carry the conventions gavel-to-gavel.

They have become highly controlled, produced, program length commercials.

A few of the undecided voters will probably use the debates to tip the scale, but you have to question whether that makes it worth all of the hoopla.

My mind changed a bit: debates where the debators cannot respond to each other suck.

Now excuse me, I must yell at my cat for making me chase him around the outside of the house.

I watched parts. Didn't plan on it, but it was on TV in the other room. I'd watch it, realize that I was wasting my time and then pursue other activities.

From what I saw it was pretty bad.

Huh? All the channels here in Pittsburgh carried it. the CBS, NBC, FOX and I think ABC (ABC is the only one i'm not certain of). Not to mention all the cable news channels
