These debates mean little to nothing
???
You must be new to politics. Now days a candidate wins with charisma, personality and looks, (Obama). Its sad but many pick/disqualify because of this and not their views.
With so many running these debates are of the utmost importance.
New?
Son, Do you remember where Bush 1 was at this point in his bid for reelection? Do you know who the front runner was in the GOP race in Sept. 2007? How about the Dem front runner?
Get a clue, boy. GHWB, Giuliani and Hillary were all doing well a year plus before the election. But they lost.
