I missed the debate last night - I'll have to tune in to NPR to get the highlights.
I saw their FIRST debate, however, and I have to say that it terrified the HELL out of me - I had gone into it assuming that McCain would go down in flames. But the fact of the matter is that he was horrifyingly eloquent (even if the was full of shit... What SCARES me is that the average American is too dumb to KNOW when he's full of shit).
The average American doesn't seem to know the difference between actual answers and gross jingoistic generalizations made to galvanize "patriotic Americans."
I shudder for this election. I truly do. :(
