Pretty interesting thread here...I was expecting more vitriol and less logic.
Not to quibble, but I took a couple debate classes in the High & the U and these showtimes are not "debates", imo. Brokaw ought to ride off into the sunset.. The "questions"/debate points were ok, but it is simply a set up for talking points that seldom address the original "debate point". There were some actual debates back in the '60s & '70s, but these lectern rants and 5 mins of apple pie/Americana are not very informative, imo. Fortunately we don't have 3 more months of this as both candidates are starting to promise the sky, sun & moon and are sounding like skipping 33 1/3 vinyl records
I too thought Obama was more "smooth", though I also agree that neither of these guys are my Prez picks. And, they really do act like we are all nincompoops out here in TV land.
BigR: I've never been "rich" imo, though V&I did have "household income" for awhile in the '90s that was up there in the top 4 or 5 percentile. Now, I'm trying to hang on to my "middle class/Walmart Nation/The Great Unwashed" standing...
Meanwhile, back at the GoingBrokeRanch, whomever is elected will have about 20 mins and an empty/overdrawn pocketbook to deal with the ever eroding country's econ problems. It ain't gonna be fun for either one.
