I didn't watch the debate last night because I had to work, but...

I watched Keith Olbermann's Post Debate wrap up show and got a good feeling for how it went.

Here's my take on last nights festivities...

I find it interesting that almost to a man(or woman-Rachel Maddow) that all of the TV Talking Heads felt that this was the candidate's most substantive debate.

Really? No stupid, touchy-feely questions? No stupid fluff about clothes or hair or makeup? They actually asked good, meat and bones questions about how these last two Democratic candidates would straighten out the mess this country is in should they be elected. Well my question is WHY? Why did it take the MSM this long to have one of these kind of debates?

Why, when there was a larger Democratic pool of candidates to chose from, didn't any of the MSM out-lets that co-sponsored these little get-togethers have a real, substantive debate, allowing each of the candidates a chance to show who and what they wanted to do for this country?

Well, I think I know why and I'm sure that supporters of the other candidates know why too. First they had to weed out all the trouble makers, people who might have done some real good. Make sure they weren't covered or talked about. Then they had to take down the biggest thorn in their side of all.

John Edwards was marginalized, pushed into a corner derided for trite and trivial things, never given the time of day by most(not all-thanks Keith) of the MSM people until well...here we are.

It was decided long ago by the MSM and the Corporations who will be our candidate come November. Maybe my :tinfoilhat: is a little too tight, but I really believe this is the case. Or maybe, I'm still in mourning for what could have been the beginning of something wonderful for this country. I just don't know anymore.

I'm sure I will be flamed by some here for speaking up and raining on their parades. Or that I have a bad case of sour grapes. Maybe they are right, but I have tired my best not to get into name calling or belittling of others choices. Everyone has made their decision on who they support and I respect their reasons for it. So I've tried not get nasty over any of this.

I am simply stating my anger and opinion at what I consider to be an injustice done to us-the American voters in the way things have been handled.

And it is, after all, just my opinion. So flame away if you feel you must.

6. Thanks again

I'm afraid my posts just get ignored most of the time, but I felt strongly enough about the subject to write this.

Again, thanks for the help.
