Didn't watch.

After more than 20 debates between the 2 dem candidates, there's really nothing new to learn. I have more important things to do than to watch dueling election infomercials--like correcting wrongheaded thinking on teh interwebz.

And so far, you're about the only person I've seen that said ABC did a decent job. Seems like most were saying Gibson and Stephanopoulous were very biased for Hillary Clinton.

Well, Stephanopoulos was a Clinton staffer, so it should come as no surprise that he might show bias.

Oh yeah, I know. Seems like that's what a lot of people have been pointing out as to why it's ABC's fault for putting someone with his history in a position to lead a debate between these two. Plus, I don't think Charles Gibson helped the situation any.

I saw about 5 minutes of it, had to change the channel.

My favorate line was Hillary saying "I know the Republicans will use anything to divide us". I heard alot of "we" and "us"

I think what she meant to say was " I know I'll be talking shit about you as soon as I walk off this stage".

Another great line was "We need a president who will stand up to the special interests in Washington". Holy crap!

I thought it was pathetically tragic that ABC felt the only way to be fair and impartial was to have one of the moderators be someone who's media career was launched by Hillary's Hubbie while the other is a total lightweight.

They'd have been better off with Teri Hatcher and crew or the panel from "Dancing with the Stars".

I thought it appropriate that ABC used lightweights to cover a lightgweight event.

I didn't watch it, Washington already had its primary/caucus. I'm pretty much done with it until November.

Sat in the garage, drinking rum and cokes, listening to Widespread Panic, looking at my XX. I was debating to get another drink, and also what bike to ride to work in the morning. I did get another drink, and the XX got me to work.
Hic.

Sounds like a productive debate.
