Debate Thought Du Jour

I watched tonight’s debate on CNN, where one could also observe the real-time reactions to 25 metered undecided voters.

You know, it’s a shame that such real-time metering isn’t available to the debating candidates.  You could tell that when actual ideas were being expressed, and questions were being answered, real people reacted.  When attacking each other, or delving into the sausage-making of politics…both candidates seemed out of touch.

If I had to pick a winner, it would be Obama if only for spending more time answering questions, rather than answering rhetoric.

Having said that, I wish someone would have asked the question that gets to the heart of my concerns with Obama – how can we know that he will carry out his agenda for change, rather than just unifying a new Democratic majority on power in Washington?

Bah; too many politicians and sheeple are too content with riding the same pendulum, back and forth.
