I have only seen her a handful of times my opinion on her was neutral. At the debates she had this creepy smile she wore the whole time quite frankly it was scary. She also doesn't seem like a good person.

And now that she didn't come off like a complete buffoon in the first debate, their attitudes may be changing.

As far as your corollary is concerned: What it's time for DWS to do now is resign. Her successor should release the candidates from the exclusivity rule.

I mean, these aren't even debates. They're glorified Q&A sessions.

6 really is enough. Maybe more than enough.

There are more important things to do, such as meet the voters, etc.

everyone will agree that six debates were enough, including the candidates who don't benefit from them.

I don't expect different results from the forthcoming debates, frankly.

These debates need to be aired on a TV network that is not subscriber-based, for full access!


Staging debates on holiday weeks or subscriber channels are just ways to suppress the Democrats message.

Again, this acquiesces power to the GOP--giving them the lion's share of network coverage!

I would be very leery of someone who feels OK with the current debate schedule and structure.
