The first of the presidential debates failed to meet expectations. Candidates merely confirmed the views of their voters.
After the hype, after the frenzy, after the months of building tension, tonight’s debate erupted in 90 minutes of the most dull, pedantic minutae in the history of presidential debates. Sen. McCain performed well but despite the occasional fillibustering in which the Senator revealed a profound knowledge of history, there was no homerun. Sen. Obama, the apogee of hope-change-new America!, was lackluster at best.
The format of the debates may be the ultimate culprit. Perfectly dressed candidates in perfectly pressed suits behind perfectly poised podiums answering perfectly crafted questions in perfectly set time.
Where was Sarkozy v. Royal? Bush v. Kerry? Reagan v. Carter?
