Tonight’s debate and forthcoming debates are ALL critical. So rather than “get off the couch,” let’s get ON the couch, America. Watch. Listen. Learn. VOTE.

I can’t imagine that anyone would make up his or her mind based on how well a condidate performed in a debate. The candidates have records and past performance in real life that means much more to me than how they do at verbal jousting match.
I will base my opinion on the candidates belief system, his record, and his reputation.

Obama should not have been allowed to interrupt and talk over his opponent and should not have been allowed to go longer than his time. Obama should have given his position on the issues being discussed, not attack his opponent.
