I’m not going to comment much on this, but a couple things I noticed at the debate last night.
1. Why can’t they talk to each other? What I saw was no debate, it was just two guys answering questions.
2. Why can’t the audience applaud? What’s the point of even having a live audience if they’re commanded to stay absolutely quiet. I can see limiting applause to a few seconds but silencing them?
3. Why is there a chosen topic that they can’t stray from? After 30 minutes of hearing about Iraq I was ready to move on to other topics. I’m aware that other things will be discussed in future debates, but if they know ahead of time exactly what to prepare for, then their answers aren’t based on what they already know, they’re based on scripted answers they prepared for in the days before the debate. That’s not real life and it’s not how things will be when one of them is elected to president.
Personally, I’d like to see a true debate.
One reply on “The First Presidential Debate”
bah! what’s the point of having a blog if you won’t post all of your opinion =P who you gonna vote for home slice? i’ll be voting for big bushy. I’m not quite down with voting in 2 of the biggest liberals in the country (according to their record) during war time. i could rant on about this but john kerry’s intoning voice is grating as well as the fact that i might have to look at john edwards as the next president if someone does the gene pool a favor and wacks kerry? nah no thanks. i’d rather have someone that wasn’t a ambulance chaser as our commander in chief.
out, yo! =P
