No-win Situation


The debate last night was a circus. Left is Right nearly turned it off several times when it appeared to be getting out of control, with 3 or more people speaking/shouting in unison. Arianna seems hell-bent on singling out Arnold on most every issue, which may not be the best strategy; it makes her appear petty and vindictive. She has a lot of great things to say otherwise, and these personal attacks on Arnold detract from the impetus of her ideas and policies. McClintock was definitely the most polished speaker; his points were clear and understandable; too bad he's a conservative. Cruz was very unimpressive and needs to show a hint of emotion when he speaks; his ideas are pretty good, but unless he shows some feeling towards his own concepts, many voters are not going to take him seriously. Camejo made points with his promise to reverse the trend of reducing taxes on the wealthy, but his appearance and demeanor were not polished enough for television. Arnold? What an underinformed, sexist dweeb.
