Debate reviews

The entire event was an embarrassment.

I find these things too excruciating to watch. My prediction is that the liberal moderators who run them will always steer televised GOP debates to spend far too much time on issues of concern to the religious right, with the purpose of making GOP candidates look like a pack of Bible-thumping wahoos.

After all, there is certainly no way that a focus on the economic growth, unemployment, deficit spending, energy, foreign/military policy, public employee unions, etc., can help Obama get re-elected, is there? So, instead, let's hear everybody talk about their views on same-sex marriage and reproductive choice, one more time. Media types generally don't know much about that other stuff anyway.
