Debate redux
I watched CNN’s unprecedented coverage of ABC’s debate. No surprises, I didn’t miss anything the first time except:
- Sleepy Edwards showed some balls and raised his voice a little, however this guy is shades of Jimmy Carter and no, not because of the annoying accent.
- I loved the Romney attacks from all the Republicans. They all got in appropriate shots and Huckabee was even praised by George Stephanopoulos for making an appropriate clean jab. Ron Paul was notably absent from the Romney attacks but that was about par because he seemed absent from the whole proceedings.
- The most telling thing about all 13 hours of that debate was the final “feel good-leave the debate on a humor moment” question. ABC’s Charles Gibson asked the candidates if there was one thing they said they could take back what would it be? Right before Hillary answered, I paused the DVR, put in a CD of dance music and began playing both. With one song and danced, she won a whole season of Dancing With The Stars with her answer. Of course she didn’t answer the question, she apparently has nothing to regret except that there is an opposition right wing conspiracy. I have to give credit to Richardson and Sleepy, they in the spirit of the question gave answers that did add a little closing fun. Disappointingly, Barack parroted Hillary and is possibly being set up to take next seasons “Dance With the Stars”.
After a few more appropriate shots in Romney’s direction, hopefully we’ll begin to see the smoke pouring from the engine and the wings beginning to dip slightly in an inevitable death spiral into the ground. I hope he packed his ‘chute.
