Subject: RE: BS: The Debates
As always people always seem to think their favoured candidate did better.

The bits I saw they both came across as pretty wooden. Not surprising, the way these debates are set up is so ponderous.

And I suppose the fact that most people are never going to watch the whole thing, but rely on sound-bites must on the one hand make them terribly anxious to avoid anything that could be yanked out and make them look silly or cocky or whatever. And on the other hand they have to drag in pre-packaged and over rehearsed bits they hope will be used as sound-bites.
