6. Same jokes same schtick |
|
I really wish we could get something other than the usual stump speeches wedged into a debate.
I don't know if Lehrer's method is going to get anything going however.

7. I thought it was a way of punishing McCain. |

For his stupid economy statement.
Good move.

Never mind the fact that this is bound to be good for Obama - especially if McSame can't respond, or looks angry.
It forces the candidates to engage each other, and it draws the differences between the two into full view. These two can't be more different, in terms of their basic, fundamental philosophy.

Obama seems comfortable in this format. McCain is so scripted, he doesn't know what to do.

12. Neither of them seem to want to engage one another |
|
They both seem to prefer speaking directly to "The American People"
