Last Night’s Debate Game(s)

While I’m sure we all agree that last night’s presidential debate on domestic policy was less than inspiring, the BBC’s Mark Mardell sums it up unusually well:

The three men on the red carpet – the two candidates at their pulpits, and the moderator Jim Lehrer sitting at his over-large desk – all seemed to have a different conception of what the debate should be like, as if they were each playing a different sport on the same field. Romney was playing American football, Obama cricket and Lehrer tiddlywinks.

I just wish they had all played tiddlywinks.That, I am convinced, is America’s path back to greatness.
