Didn't we have a discussion a while ago about how much money PBS actually gets from the government? I think the final result was less than 10%. |

Speaking of PBS, Jim Lehrer didn't do that well last night, IMO. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't invite him back in 2016. He's done enough of these I'd say. |

Romney did walk all over him, and I found that irritating. He looked old and tired. Well, he is 78 years old. Edited by George K, Oct 4 2012, 04:32 AM.

It was also a different format that gave the candidates more leeway. Wrangling these guys cannot be an easy task. |

PBS Thingie. Remember when that exec got fired from PBS year or so ago? I seem to remember that PBs at that time said they really no longer needed money from the Govt. I can't remember the details but remember a few Pols. at that time said how come we still give it to them? It seem to have gone away. |

I liked that Lehrer didn't run his mouth so much. He let both partcipants respond to their opponents when other moderators would have muscled them into the next question. I found that refreshing. |

I just saw an Obama debate clip. It summarized the entire election.
This is a statment only a man with a record of failure has to make. 'Pay no attention to my FIRST four years - hope and change! Hope and change...er... I mean FORWARD!'. |

The biggest mistake Obama keeps making is this "doubling down on what got us into this mess". He's the incumbent now. Electing him would be in effect doubling down. |

As Mik pointed out, for a guy that wants to move "Forward!", he sure keeps referring to Bush and Clinton a lot. |

I thought both debaters were lacklustre. While most of what they debated was of marginal concern to me (although how the US deals with its health care insurance could have an impact on the future of our health care insurance and delivery) , I am pretty certain that either one of them in the White House would be beneficial to the continued growth of the Alberta energy industry and ecomony. |

Yeah, I've seen pictures of you, Vince. You may be old, but you don't look old and tired. Lehrer looked beat up. |

Apparantly the reason Obama did so poorly (according to Al Gore) was altitude sickness. |

i dont know, seems to me people are fishing to put a positive light on a mediocre performance. even making it spicy by implying a grave national security issue.... i think he was just not focused, and he has a dry not warm personality, which cant be faked spontaneously. professorial yes, charismatic a la reagan or clinton, not in the least. |
