Where to start .... how about ranting about politics? I'm not in a ranting mood, so I'll just discuss last night's presidential debate.
It seemed to be slightly less tame than previous election's debates. I was happy to see the candidates able to directly debate each other, rather than just spewing their standard responses on each question. I think this favored Obama, as I'm pretty sure McCain's ability to think on his feet is not quite so sharp.
It felt like McCain was trying hard to make sure he covered all of his talking points ... he has a lot of experience, he doesn't agree with everything Bush did, he loves Reagan, Obama just doesn't understand. I think that Obama was trying to ensure he got his message across as well, but I think he made a better connection with the audience.
Overall, I think people in each party's base will feel like the debate affirmed their opinions, but I don't think many undecided voters will make up their minds as a result of this debate. So on it goes...
I'm looking forward to the VP debate ... I'm fairly certain Biden can kick Palin's ass in his sleep, especially on foreign policy.
