What a snorer last night's debate was. I blame Tom Brokaw, who got to pick the lame questions. I think a seventh-grade civics student could have selected better questions. All we got to hear were the same talking points over and over again. And as anyone who has ever interviewed any politician knows, if you're not going to let the questioner ask follow up questions, there's not much point in asking any questions at all.
This was supposed to be a town hall meeting, which only goes to show that the major media have never been in a town hall or been to a town meeting. It's supposed to be an exchange of ideas, guys, not a lecture in Poly Sci 101.
Finally, why the rule stipulating that the audience couldn't respond in any way? Can you imagine going to any other event with such a rule? Okay, audience, remember that no matter how funny the stand-up comedian is, no laughing. It's un-American to go to such an event and sit on your hands. I say let 'em snicker and laugh, boo and groan, or - as I wish I had been doing - snore loudly.
