Presidential Debates!

Presidential debates are coming!

Please read this article, link is below!

What's your take on the fact that both McCain and Obama are open and willing to have a free-flowing debate which will open the opportunity for comments on all issues as opposed to a strictly structured debate in which answers are timed and candidates are not given the chance to speak freely? I believe it's great! It'll let viewers really know how prepared and knowledgeable these candidates really are!

Also, FYI, what does it look like when McCain's camp has pushed for the debate between Vice Presidential candidates, Palin and Biden, to have the structured agenda as opposed to free banter? I think it makes Palin look incredibly weak. In the ABC interview with Charlie Gibson, she repeatedly spoke about how she didn't hesistate to accept the position, and how she is prepared. Wouldn't that statement be proven if she were in a real debate? This is the nature of politics! C'mon!

"McCain advisers said they had been concerned that a loose format could leave Ms. Palin, a relatively inexperienced debater, at a disadvantage and largely on the defensive."
THIS IS WHY SHE IS NOT READY!! jeez...

read the article people!
