Andrew Sullivan: ABC News' Freak Show of a "Debate"
Go to Atlantic original
If you are any guide, this was a debacle for the network. One reader:
This debate was disgusting. But, it only motivated me more and made me realize how very important it is that Obama and the politics that he represents wins this election. I don't make much, but ABC just convinced me to make another small donation to Senator Obama.
And, as a side note, it seems like it would've been better to have had George Will moderate the debate. I have much more faith in his fairness and concern with policy than what these two just put forward.
Another:
This debate was the biggest sham I've ever seen. The first hour was nothing but substance-less nonsense, soft ball questions and prattle.
Another:
The best part of this "debate" (likely the worst I've ever seen) just occurred a few minutes ago when the audience booed Charlie. I can't believe I just sat through 2 hours of that.
