Earlier today, a friend forwarded me a petition from moveon.org. The point was to voice our collective outrage with the inanity of Wednesday night's debate/debacle. Now, moveon.org scares me almost as much as al-Qaida so it's not like I pay much mind to their ramblings but they're not the only ones screaming about this. The entire country, it seems, is up-in-arms over it. Is this all we have to be up-in-arms about?
This whole uproar is pretty funny, in my opinion. I think the fact that they're still debating at all is much more ridiculous than the way the debate was handled. Clearly, after twenty debates, ABC decided to try something a little different. People obviously didn't like it. And personally, I didn't like it much either.
But it was, like, their twenty-first debate (or something like that). The fact of the matter is Americans already know where Clinton and Obama stand on the issues. Since issues are no longer what's driving the contest, it appears ABC was simply focusing on what the rest of the country is focusing on: Gaffes and hearsay. It's pretty much all we have left to help swing this thing!
