A Bad Case (of) News

Posted in Election by iowajim on the April 17th, 2008

Well, the “big debate” between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton is over and the results are in.

ABC news sucks.

Actually, I kinda enjoyed myself watching it. Sorry, but even a train wreck is entertaining.

Where debates are concerned, I often find myself annoyed at the way candidates fall back on, or side track to, scripted talking points. Why can’t they *ever* give a straight answer? And by “straight” I mean “not stage managed”. At least I found an awesome quote off Huffington Post, taken from user comments on ABC’s site:

Are you kidding me? “We don’t have much time left. Let’s have a MINUTE to talk about gas?” Charlie and George, you need a crash course on the distinction between “issues” and an “agendas.” Hint: The candidates have the former; you have the latter.

Also, FM is making noises about how this debate probably hurts Mrs. Clinton more than Mr. Obama. Maybe he’ll have something brewed up tomorrow morning - or would that be night?
