I didn’t watch but Blogcritics Magazine lives up to it’s name with a critical wrapup of the event:
The nation desperately needs leadership from someone of high ideals who has a core set of beliefs and holds to them regardless of whether they test well in focus groups. The President’s job is to make decisions, and to do that effectively you need to believe in something more than just winning an election. In this campaign that quality of leadership seems to be missing from most of the major candidates in both parties. I’d be happy just to see a major candidate from either party whose positions don’t look like they were formed by a committee of lawyers.
Look at the approval ratings of Congress (24%) and the President (29%). Do you think we actually want more of the same old pandering and reliable mediocrity for another four years? Apparently the major Democratic candidates think we do. This was their chance to take a stand on an issue that a lot of people care about, stake out the moral high ground and set themselves above the pack, and no one with more than 2% in the polls wanted to take even this mildly controversial position. If they cannot lead on an issue like this, how can we expect them to lead on more critical issues?
Now voters are left wondering whether there is any candidate who has the necessary qualities to be the kind of president the nation needs.
