I love politics. People who know me know this. I follow elections closely. I read about all of the candidates and the issues. I have never been an "Unaffiliated" voter because I have always felt that I could wholly support one candidate or another. I watch political debates the way most men I know watch football.
I understand the presidential debates are designed to provide insight to undecided voters. The candidates have to sway those who haven't decided to vote for them. We get this.
I would greatly appreciate it if Senators Obama and McCain would stop with the repeat performances of their stump speeches. It would have been nice to have learned something new last night at the Town Hall "debate". I believe if you're going to label something "Town Hall" it would behoove you to allow the audience to interact with the candidates more than just reading a question from a card.
Candidates owe it to the people who will vote for them and the people they will ultimately serve to stop with the circus and start answering questions. A little substance would be nice.

I agree. I recorded the debate because it was on while I was in class. It was incredibly boring, unhelpful, and candidates we ridiculously childish. I'm tired of fingers pointing and name calling. Ugh!
