The Debate Debate

I meant to watch last night's debate. I was looking forward to it, as a matter of fact.
I had to watch the last two online, and it was aggravating.
But as reports trickled in from the blogs picking it up on East Coast time, I decided not to bother.
Apparently, the ABC televised debate to a bigger audience than any of the previous 20-plus Democratic debates, was horrible. Full of gotcha questions that sounded designed to cater to right wing sensibilities.
The flag lapel pin Obama doesn't wear, the old Pastor Wright thing, etc.
I've read a lot about it today, and am not sure that the whole thing wasn't designed to give the apparent nominee — Obama — a taste of what Republicans will throw at him in the fall.
However, if you're pissed off about last night, there's now a petition.
