I'm getting some feedback on the debate from readers now.

From Joe Outside The Beltway: "How’s this for arrogance? I see no need to watch the debate and am avoiding all reporting on it.  I have nothing more to learn.   Senator  McBush is an impulsive, irrational “shoot-from-the hip” representative of a political party that has done enormous harm to our country, and that should be run out of town at the first opportunity -- coming up soon.  It is astounding that so many Americans seem unable to grasp this. You see how arrogant I am?   I might watch Palin (McBush’s most irrational act ever!) simply for the (tragic) humor in it."

 Here's Lisa, also not watching: "These debates are only worthwhile if you've been living in a cave and know nothing about either candidate.  How can anyone possibly be on the fence or undecided at this point? What kind of a moron are you if you're still undecided about two such entirely opposite candidates, two such entirely opposite philosophies, this late in the game??   Lemme guess -- the kind who brought us 8 years of George Bush! It's all pre-programmed talking points.  I know which candidate I'm voting for, and I don't need these stage-managed 'debates' to tell me anything else about him or his hapless opponent."

The Arizona Kid says: "The Cubs and the Brewers are tied 1-1 in the top of the 6th."

South Shore Joey (Generation Y): "Does Senator McCain have bullet points in front of him that he's trying to hit? He was asked if he was going to vote for the current bailout plan and just said, 'Sure but...' That sound frighteningly Bush-like. I thought this wasn't four more years of Bush." Through most of this campaign I've dismissed rude McCain ads as the ugly necessity of politics. He's never been my candidate as I simply disagree with most of his political views and ideas of government, but he's always been a hero. But I've never been so disappointed in a politician as I have been these past few days over John McCain's utter buffooner with the attempts to postpone the debate in the name of economic resolution. I assumed I was desensitized to being talked down-to by the candidates. I was wrong."

Sounds like these people already have made up their minds.
