I agree. I think half the time they are spouting half-truths (and that's giving them the benefit of the doubt), so half the time they are responding to the other with "that's not true".....yada yada yada.....it's no wonder I fell asleep on the debate.

I fell asleep before the debate started, but I really think that, had I been awake, I wouldn't have lasted very long watching the debate. I think debates tend to be an exercise in passive aggressiveness. One candidate will say something, the other guy will laugh condescendingly, and then say "My opponent fails to realize that..."

Seriously, it makes both parties unlikeable.

Wow you're good! You pretty much nailed it! Except that McCain actually ended up saying "He doesn't understand" :-P

Yup, and Obama laughed and tried to talk over him while it was McCain's time to answer.

I thought it was somewhat boring. I liked listening to it much better than watching it.

I also think that it should have been all foreign policy as previously negotiated by both sides. McCain gave up a crucial advantage for no reason.

Agree.
