I thought the debate was kind of blah and that neither of them won it.

So I was kind of blown away by the almost uniform reaction of the media.

And then I remembered that Bush/Gore debate the media all thought Gore had won, till a couple days later when they realized that people watching it on TV had a whole different point of view.

I hope it's like that this time.

All this drama because Tweety and Ed and Rachel didn't find it entertaining enough. And they need a horserace.

and never watch any of the pundits after the debate ends.

I will make up my own mind on style, substance and all. I don't need them to do if for me.
