actually i caught about 10 seconds of it at an online site but that's all it took. if you turned off the tv in digust, does that mean you weren't all that impressed with your candidate either?

No TV, no computer speakers. If I did have the opportunity to watch, I would've.

It wasn't so much that my preferred candidate crushed the other guy.... the other guy didn't need any help in that category. O.o

By "my candidate" I mean the candidate I support over the other one. Not necessarily the one I'd choose as my own candidate. And I'd say he did a little better than just a little better than the other guy, but not so much as to say that he crushed the other guy.

I lasted maybe twenty or thirty minutes before I had to turn it off just because it was so boring. They kept yammering away and saying the same things over and over again. Guys, repeating something does not make it true!

No television. But what I read of the transcripts and reactions from my friends indicate that Obama wiped the floor with McCain.

I havent watched it yet but maybe I will, just to see.
In my mind, it doesn't matter who wins a debate, what's interesting to me is who wants to create the kind of society that I want to live in.
I always vote out of pure idealism, I vote for who has the best vision and who sees the world like I do.

And there is no way in hell I would ever vote for the Republican Party.

I wanted to watch it

But I was in the middle of the Everglades at that time. IE in the middle of nowhere with no TV or Radio

I managed to watch the last few minutes after getting home, then the first few minutes as my friend rewound the DVR before we collapsed for the evening. I wouldn't speak in a possessive sense about any candidate, but the candidate I prefer of the two certainly spoke more reasonably and knowledgeably while the other, in my own purview, seemed to be attempting to appeal more to unreasoned emotions of his own base and not actually address important issues well at all. I think they each appealed to their own bases well, but I still feel the one is far more qualified than the other, even if his promises do not see fruition.
