Debate recap

Well, of all the presidential debates I have seen, that was by far the most recent.

Seriously, it didn't seem like either of the candidates was realy trying, or wanted to be there. Of the two, only McCain seemed willing to be specific about what he would do as President, and then only on a couple of questions. Most of the time he spent talking about how "bipartisan" he was (don't get me wrong - I like Senator Lieberman, but I don't need to hear his name 400 times in 90 minutes...). Obama, on the other hand, seemed to spend the entire night trying not to be pinned down to anything, or refuting things he's already said.

Granted, the town hall format is not the most enlightening in many cases, but with al the focus on the economy, I figured that at least one candidate would come with some specific proposals that carried some weight.

Oh, well. One more debate to go - I can only hope that the final one is more informative than the first two...
