Election 2008: Debate

So was anyone else scratching their heads wondering when the Town Hall debate was going to happen?

This thing was the biggest joke under the sky ... this wasn't a Town Hall meeting, this was Brokaw giving questions to audience members and asking them to read them as their own (notice how many of the questions were tripped over like it was the first time they ever saw it?) ... even the online questions were, well, questionable.

I've questioned the debating policy throughout this election and now I can see the bias clear of the media fog ... it is decidedly leaning to the left ... from the moderators chosen (every one is part of the liberal machine -- used to think Brokaw was neutral until he took over 'Meet the Press', then his leanings truly began to show) to the questions to the formats ....

the Obama camp seems to have dictated everything -- and I suspect they chose what questions would be asked and who got to ask them ... but I only speculate.

McCain did seem off his game last night -- he was beginning to remind me of George I about the same time during his run for a second term ... the Gulf War had taken its toll on George and he was just plain worn out - he was being smacked in the media and I think at the time he was questioning why he would want to do it for another 4 yrs and it showed in his interview with ... hey .... wasn't that Brokaw too??

I'm seeing a pattern here ...

I did notice that the majority of the wrist slappings seemed to be directed to McCain although he was not the only one there totally ignoring the timing lights -- also that the camera seemed to catch the lights more when McCain talked and less so with Obama (so a person watching couldn't tell that they were rambling on) ...

I love the Town Hall debates ... but this was not a town hall debate and I think that might be why so many people seem to be commenting that McCain seemed so upset last night -- I think when he got there they found that the format had been changed for what they had originally agreed to.

I'd be pissed too!
