Did anyone watch the Pennsylvania debate? Over 10million Americans did, and although it was less viewers than American Idol, it was the most viewers for a debate so far.

I wasn't able to catch the debate, but have been doing some reading about it and it sounds like it was quite a terrible affair. Little or no policy questions, rehashing of things we have heard about way too much like Hillary's Bosnia Sniper Comments, Obama's Pastor, the VP question, yada, yada yada. Although they may have finally got some concrete answers on these questions, it is hardly what the election should be about! It doesn't sound like I missed much.

Did anybody catch it? Anyone have an opinion?

Here is a summary of some criticism: http://www.huff  ingtonpost.com/  2008/04/17/abc-  debate-high-rat  ings-c_n_97249.  html

And here is a quote from Obama from the NYTimes :

“I will tell you, it does not get much more fun than these debates. They are inspiring events,” Mr. Obama quipped. “Last night, I think we set a new record because it took us 45 minutes before we even started talking about a single issue that matters to the American people. It took us 45 minutes!” “Forty-five minutes before we heard about health care. Forty-five minutes before we heard about Iraq,” he continued. “Forty-five — 45 — minutes before we heard about jobs. Forty-five minutes before we heard about gas prices.”
