McCain Needs Stronger Showing In Next Debate

1 Comment

Don't Depend on debates

I do not understand why we continue to have these silly things every four years.

Candidates approach these with a "Prevent Defense" mentality. Consequently they are high risk-low gain in the sense that a good performance won't win you the race but a bad performance can lose the race.

What was needed here from McCain was why we either needed government intervention or why not. McCain could have blown this away with some economics 101 but as usual either didn't see the opportunity or was too afraid of what his opponents would do to seize it.
