DISQUS

David Dickerson · 1 year ago

If last night's debate is anything like the Reverend Wright or the "bitter" scandalette--and at one debate out of 26, it's pretty light and thin--it should have no impact at all on Obama's numbers, which keep rising and rising. The best revenge will be to simply elect Obama--that'll show 'em!--and then write him letters saying stuff like, "Please don't answer bullshit questions anymore. It's the only way they'll learn."

Um... why complain about the questions? Sounds like sour grapes. Obama finally got moderators who weren't prepared to let the candidates scratch each other's backs all night.

I find Obama's response to all of this rather strange. Instead of getting on with his campaign, he's attacking the media, attacking the debate. Reality check: you win some, you lose some.

It's been a frequent complaint the the current man in the White House doesn't listen to criticism. Well, Obama's attitude towards criticism is also important. It's certainly shaped my choice this time around.

I think ABC did a great job--finally, a debate worth watching. I fully expect the debates in the fall to be as combative as this one was. Game on.
