Normally I'll only yell at the TV during certain sporting events but I don't think I made it 10 minutes into the infomercial, really can't call it a debate, before I began yelling at both talking heads to "answer the damn question".
I'm holding out a little faith that one of these guys will step up and show some leadership and not just continue to speak in well rehearsed soundbites. I think the first candidate to take a chance, stand up and layout a real plan of action, and announce who will occupy some critical positions within the new administrations senior staff will run away with a landslide victory. The cynic in me however is certain that neither team will announce a thing until the polling data tells them what to do.
I'm reminded of quote I heard once: "tell me where my people are going, for I must lead them". To me it perfectly sums up the state of politics today.
