The Crappiest Debate So Far
Normally, I’m not a big debate watcher. I make up my mind long before the candidates deign to defend their positions to the public, and so far this election cycle I’ve watched three of them. Last night’s debate, moderated by ABC’s Charles Gibson and George Stephanopolis, has to be the worst I’ve seen yet, and I’m a Charles Gibson fan. More time was spent on asinine questions about wearing a flag pin, Obama latest gaffe, and Clinton’s stretching the truth about her Bosnia trip. Nobody cares about this shit. The voters in Pennsylvania aren’t all up in arms about what Senator Obama said about God and guns (so blown out of proportion, by the way), else why has Senator Clinton’s once double-digit lead dwindled down to within the margin of error? Voters have been vary clear about what matters to them this election cycle and the two biggest are Iraq and the economy. Yet, I think it was fifteen or twenty minutes into the debate before those topics were even broached. Shame on you, ABC News, the Fox News Channel could have done better than this.
