Arnold is trying to win the debate by overtalking everyone else

[Gman]

likely because of his weak positions and lack of understanding of the issues. No doubt he was coached to do this.

I think Arnold's coming across as overbearing and obnoxious at this point. In the humble opinion of a Texan, I think the California people are going to see Arnold as just a light weight when this is over.

On the other hand, Bustamante is coming across very well. He comes across as reasoned, intelligent and very matter of fact. So far, Bustie is coming across as, by far, the best. I'm very impressed with him. I was before this but I'm very impressed with his "presence".

1. I agree with you but I DO NOT want to see the spin...

of the cable "news" channels. Arnie is an inarticulate ding dong!

[Doug Decker]

2. Agree wholeheartedly about Ahnold and Cruz...

I've seen Cruz before and he is very calming and confident speaker. I hope everyone in CA sees that, also.

3. we already have at least three threads here on the debate...

can we try to keep them consolidated? Thanks!

4. Isn't that the typical GOP behavior?

Never allow someone with an opposing view to speak without interrupting them or distracting them so they can't make their point.

If the person with the opposing views is not rattled and continues to speak and tries to make a point, talk over them loudly so they can't be heard.

The GOP can't have a civilized discussion about the issues because they can't defend their positions or their pResident.

6. It's all they have...

Recount, recall, redistrict, the GOP strategery.

7. So true

There must be some secret school where they send all the little repukes so they can learn bad manners that will last a lifetime.

8. Dems/Liberals/Greens should demand debates in sound boothes.

Equal time compromised is no equal time at all. In fact using boothes could be an example of a true new "Fair and Balanced" environment.
