Just because you disagree does not at all mean that I stand alone. Nobody whom I know personally and whose opinion I respect was impressed by Paladino last night.
And, I have known plenty of people who, while not being polished politicians, were fully capable of coherently framing an issue and detailing their proposed plan to deal with it...Paladino did not come close.
It seems that we have different standards and expectations of those whom we would elect to govern...mine are pretty high.
That's fine. You and your friends expected too much from the format. That wasn't a debate, it was a circus. Hopefully Cuomo and Paladino will accept the invitation that just the two of them debate. Without the clowns and time restrictions. No one thought that the debate was a good format.

In 60 seconds? Sometimes only 30?

No one could fulfill them in that format. There are high expectations and then there is unrealistic.
