Debate reaction

I passed on an opportunity to attend the debate tonight, and I kind of regret going; not because the debate itself was interesting, but because watching it on television was agonizing. I never thought I'd say that Brian Williams and Tim Russert could run a tighter ship than anyone else, but this format was terrible -- mostly because of the crowd's involvement (boos and applause). Overall, it was pretty much a non-event, and CNN deserves an extra helping of whoop-ass for putting a partisan Republican analyst and two former Clinton employees on their post-debate wrap-up.
