    No.

      Alright.

      1. DemosTheKnees   14 years ago

        You take defeat well.

  2. Fist of Etiquette   14 years ago

    Not only do we get to hear two politicians jawing, but also little people stuttering out pre-approved questions. Town hall debates are the worst of the worst.

  3. Anonymous Coward   14 years ago

    Why not just hire actors to read the questions since they are pre-approved anyway? If it were an actual town hall, the people in attendance would be as likely to start arguing with each other and just ignore the candidates on the floor.

  4. Kaptious Kristen   14 years ago

    The reason live tweets are the only worthwhile thing about the debates. There were some gems last time:

    "That wasn't a debate so much as Mitt Romney just took Obama for a cross country drive strapped to the roof of his car."

  5. DK   14 years ago

    There is, of course, be [sic] a drinking game.

    RACIST!!!
