I absolutely agree Memo. In fact, I don't watch debates anymore because (as has been discussed recently at OK WASSUP!) it's pretty much all theater, or as you stated "a big sporting event where people cheer their respective team."

I liken it to the WWF or WWE….or whatever that pro wrestling organization is called these days.

Unfortunately, our political sysytem is what it is and until We The People raise our collective voices and demand REAL change on a host of Presidential election related issues NOTHING will improve.

I've got at least one topic on the issue of our politcal system I plan to post in the *Forum* section AFTER the election. For now I'll say this: I think the role of internet cultural-socio-political blogs will continue to grow and their influences (via VOICES of participants AND loyal readers of those sites) will increase significantly in the coming years.

I just wish we could get back to a time when the debates were more than a big sporting event where people cheer their respective team. The fact that someone is viewed as "winning" a debate just goes against the whole point of what it should be- it's not about who had the best wisecracks or who looked better on TV, but that's all we end up caring about. And then, of course, the fact that after Ross Perot they basically made it a two-person match, well that pretty much says it all- it's not really a debate at all. I've found myself looking at this bizarre forum, populated mostly by right-wingers: http://www.houseofpolitics.com/ Their view on the debates is quite different than here. I think they're pretty nuts, but I'm sure they're saying the same thing about this site- it makes me wonder how we're ever going to move forward as a country when we're so radically divided. All my friends love to watch the debates just to see what new stupid thing Romney will say. I don't get it- is this really what we want to aspire to? It just makes me depressed...

Btw: Just a drive-by of a few popular right-wing blogs…they know the President cleaned their guys clock last night. In fact it was such a beat-down that Krauthammer and Co. simply can not accept it:

"Romney Won Unequivocally"

"I thought Romney had the day. He looked presidential. The president did not. And that’s the impression I think that is going to be left."

"Yeah it ain't over until its over but last night was a good night for him."

But I agree with you and DJ, last night was "azz whoopin" night xD!

LOL DJ good to see we both liked that same line about the horses and bayonet. And yeah this was a azz whoopin like the kind your grandmother used to give you when she told you go get her a switch. Obama did what he was supposed to do. Truth I don't think anybody is about to get comfortable. Yeah it ain't over until its over but last night was a good night for him. He's got two weeks to keep showing he's the president and in control. I think last night made a big difference for him the rest of the way.
