Meh

Both sides are screaming "WE WON!!" over last nights presidential debate. Both sides dropping down on their knees touting how well their candidate did and spraying spittle in all directions proclaiming that the other has less intelligence than your common houseplant.

I wasn't overly impressed by either. Both made a few good points but there was nothing new. No major flubs or position changes. No real 'Gotcha' moments. Nothing to make it really interesting at all.

You know, I really can't wait for this to be over. Two years of non-stop campaigning presidential campaigning is about a year and a half to long. Assuming it doesn't take a month for the voting results, that should give us at least a few weeks before the 2012 candidates start up.

No major flubs or position changes. ?!?!?

Were watching the same debate. As Sebastian says, "The only thing Obama didn't change was his underwear."

If you go back and listen to his support for clean coal, missile defense, off shore drilling, and even more support than he's had before for nuclear energy. He was desperate to come off as Mr. Moderate last night. I don't know that it completely worked, but we were raising eyebrows knowing that his early base - the far left - was likely screaming at the TV.

On nuclear energy, clean coal,and missile defenses he didn't say anything more than his issues papers have since the beginning. It was just emphasized this time instead of taking a back seat.

The Dems actually did the flip flop on off shore drilling so he's just following along w/ the party. Still, nothing new.
