I'm going to approach this in a different light. My question is... Do you feel like any of these "debates" have had a true, clear-cut winner? It seems to me that the debates, both Presidential and VP have been bland, uber political, he said she said mumbo jumbo from all sides.

All of the candidates have said "I'm going to do this, I'm going to do that." but have any of them truly explained just how they are going to accomplish anything?

I don't want this turned into a McCain Vs. Obama, because I think we all clearly know each others' views, so what do you think?

My vote is: No, the "debates" have been bland and pointless, largely due in part to the supposedly impartial "moderators." Tom Brokaw completely dropped the ball tonight and led the debate straight into the ground.

 

McCain and Obama laid at out the rules so it wouldn't get too heated. Thats why Tom Brokaw kept changing the subject just as it was getting good.

I think it was a draw, but I believe Obama swung alot of voters to his side with his focus on the middle class.

Oh yeah, and "that one" comment, was the most childish thing i've ever seen a 104 year old say.

 

i think its based on who can bullshit the best, plain and simple. They answered zero questions. Its insulting really.... the political debates are about as useful as "your momma's so fat" jokes haha.

 

I've given up. It's really sad that these debates are really more discussions how each candidates agree w/ each other, except on Iraq. Even though I'm young, this is the 1st presidential race I've witnessed were there is NO difference between the two candidates. They both want to do the same, just one is more extreme than the other. Both want to socialize our banks w/ a bailout which the money for is either going to be printed or borrowed from China and they both want to just further complicate our tax system. My first election that I'm going to vote in and the two main candidates are a turd sandwich and a bottle of douche. However, these debates are a bigger joke due to the fact that the committee is run by Dems and GOP only so obviously, they won't allow other parties to participate, which is sad because it leaves out a lot of views for the public to listen to.
