My problem with this debate, and pretty much any debate over the past few elections is that there are almost no voters who are "on the fence". I think it would be hard to go out there and find someone who says "I'm not sure who I'm voting for." You might get a lot of "I don't know if I'm going to bother to vote." The country has become so polarized that even if a candidate from the side you traditionally vote against came forth we great ideas that you could really get behind, in todays political climate most people still wouldn't vote for that person because they are the other side.. the enemy. It's one of the many curses of a two party system - it breeds an us versus them air. Sadly, most of the recent political candidates haven't done anything to improve upon it, or really given anyone any reason to feel any different. So it's hard for me to have much interest in the debates as a lot of it is just preaching to the choir as it were.

All I can hope anymore is we can go another 4 years without blowing ourselves up.
