“That’s exactly how I feel. I’m amazed these two guys were elected to Congress. Any decent high school debate team would have torn either one apart’

Except - and this is big - debaters in High School do not have to measure EVERY word that can come back to haunt them for the rest of the campaign.

Very true, but this is about image and about influencing the independents and swing voters and moderates on both sides. The bases are still going to vote for McCain or Obama no matter what, and the bases are the only ones that are going to haggle over every single word.

The swing voters on the other hand are going to go off of the image they get tonight.

HEY Txzman! You just took those two wannabe 'experts' to school on the topic of how to debate!

Nice shot, I can see the smoke as they spiral down towards the water...LOL
