All the gotcha questions may make for sound bites, but after a while, it was just plain boring because I'm more interested in hearing how things are going to be different in a year.

1. It was a bitching contest, with one getting drowned.

5. I'm not sure what that means. All I know is that every time Obama tried to bring the debate around
to real issues, Hillary , Charlie and George went "Rev Wright, Louis Farrakhan, flag pin, little cottage on the lake, (no prairies in Pennsylvania, I guess) 9/11, 9/11, 9/11, Weather Underground. "

3. That's how one member of my household put it.
For me, it wasn't so much boring as it was innane.

An 8th grade social studies class could have posed better questions.

4. This debate moderated by the National Enquirer
Who gives a crap about this gossip bullshit.

7. From what I heard, yes. Two neo-liberals 'debating' = boring.
The media meat puppets who, after all, chose the candidates tried to 'tart' it up a little bit. Didn't work.

Boring candidates, boring journalists, boring election.

Oh well.
