Watching the Debates
Posted by Lloyd Y. Asato | Filed under Poetics of Peet's
I am watching the debates with geek friends from across the west coast.
I think it was a mistake to have CNN moderate this debate. We should have chosen the questions or at least allow the candidates to post “video responses” to the site.
Last I checked CNN was 24/7. Why not have a continuing conversation with the candidates?
I learned that I am not alone in never being able to answer a question with a yes or a no. Or to not being able to answer questions with simple answers.
This debate is not useful for me. I want to have very long conversation with these candidates. I would watch that if it were posted. They all have websites, non?
Why do I like Kucinich yet dismiss him as unelectable and as a result send my money and vote elsewhere? Is it his height? Barry is tall, huh?
Surfing through all of the streams of the debate watching parties and noticing that they are all white and older. Why did that suddenly become visible?
