What a good spoof! I can watch that kind of debate anytime.

All they're trying to do is sell themselves. I cringe every time they start going after each other. I'd rather flip to "The Office" and have a few laughs. I hate the debates.

People will say things like "Obama seemed more real," and it drives me crazy because being appealing on tv or in front of a crowd has so little to do with anything. Really, most people would come across as awkward or uncomfortable in those situations, and many of those people are probably more "real" than the two presidential candidates. (Of course, no one really defines what "real" is, so it's hard to be sure.) Basically, I think these debates should be available only in the form of transcripts; that way, it wouldn't matter how the candidates came across.
