In the Fall of 1991 my partner and I were the #1 ranked Debate team in the state of Michigan heading into the State Finals ....these televised spectacles are anything but debates and I haven't watched a minute. Clearly you can't avoid the aftermath and coverage, even when you try, but it seems pretty clear to me that:
Romney "killed" in the first debate, but this is largely due to incredibly low expectations and terrible polling (which we all know is biased and flawed until polls show Romney gaining).
The second debate showed a more prepared Obama and was considered a "draw."
This third debate seems to be going to Obama, but with less histrionics and drama and more based on a substantive analysis of very real geo-political issues.
This Politics board is an absurd venue at times and I can't say there is a true Independent voter, or rather, non-DEM/GOP voter from what I can tell .... So, are there ANY posters who have been persuaded at all by these "debates" because they don't seem to be meaningful exchanges , other than to showcase how RETARDED the political Ads are, on face.
