I watched both the presidential and the vice-presidential debates and I intend to watch the rest of them. What is astonishing is that there still are people who are undecided about which ticket to vote for; what is even more astonishing is that some people will make their decisions based on these debates. For me, the debates are basically good entertainment, shedding very little light on what each side really thinks or is likely to accomplish in offi ce. I love it when the candidate I support calls the other candidate’s statements lies, and I hate it when he does not make a point that should be made (or I would have made). It’s all theatrics. Those who are waiting for the debates to make up their minds have not been paying attention. Unfortunately, there are many of them.
