I finally got to see debate #2. I can’t really build too much on what others have written, except to add two thoughts.
- It seemed a little anti-climactic after all the hype of the blogosphere. True, Schlesinger got in a few zingers, but it wasn’t as entertaining as the last debate. (At least Lamont showed some life this time around.)
- I was very disappointed in the minor candidates’ showing. Public speakers they are not. They were almost as painful to listen to as I am on those rare occasions as when I’m in front of a crowd. I’m happy to see that the minor parties got some press (finally), but if they want to gain any credibility, minor parties need to run more eloquent speakers.
