2nd Presidential Debate

I really wasn't impressed with last night's debate. I had high hopes for it mainly because of I thought that the "open ended" approach would shed some new information on the candidates. Sadly, I didn't hear anything new... I didn't necessarily think that the questions were bad, but they probably could have been better. I understand that both the candidates have to play dirty to some extent, but I really find it immature when McCain says that Obama signed off on this way back when or when Obama tells us that McCain voted for something and thus he can't lead the country. The whole thing is just getting a little repetitive to me, and I'm ready for the actual election to commence. On a positive note... I did like the variety between the moderator asking the questions as well as the audience. I thought that it was pretty balanced.

Tom did do a good job expanding on the questions especially the ones that came from the internet. I wish though he would have been a little more of a ref and actually cut them off when they went over so maybe just maybe more questions that might have shed new light could have been asked.
