I missed the first presidential debate, but I have heard this one was much better. The candidates actually spoke to one another on occasion, and there was eye contact. This seems to be an improvement from last time.
I watched on Hulu, but kept Hack the Debate on in the background, while I did some Twittering during the course of the debate to rant and rave.
A few brief thoughts on the debate:
1. The only possible explanation for McCain's blinking is that he was trying to talk in morse code; it was out of control.
2. Attack ads got more debate time than alternative energy... disgusting.
3. School vouchers? Not the solution!
4. "Nobody likes taxes, let's not raise anybody's taxes." Good point, let's just raise the national debt.
Here's some link love for some other people who quickly posted about Joe the Plumber:
