Frankly I was disappointed with the Friday night debate. I think the both candidates said a lot of the same things. Both agreed that the economy was in crisis, both blamed the other for the situation and both promised to cut spending to solve the problem. This is not at all surprising in fact I believe this is quite typical of politicians. What was upsetting was watching Jim Lehrer ask his questions. None of the questions asked actually called out either politician on their previous records. It should not be left to the politicians to call out the voting records of their opponents. I think if Lehrer asked questions pertaining to each candidates individual record the debate would have been much more informative and entertaining for the public to watch.
