Okay bloggers, I am in the media room at the UT campus watching the debate between Obama and Clinton. It's a really relaxed vibe in herem pretty quiet.  But most of all, it's really cold. Like, I wish I had mittens on, but then I wouldn't be able to type. Fellow local media blogger sitting with me feel the same way.

We are in the first commercial break of the debate.  So far, I have not heard anything exciting or new.  The first question was from Univision anchor hottie Jorge Ramos. He asked now that Fidel Castro is out of power how will America deal with Cuban relations. Obama gave his answer, but them Campbell Brown, the moderator, reminded him that his answer was different a couple of years ago.  Dang. He saved himself by coming up with a middle ground. The man has a way with words.

The thing I have noticed most about this debate is that BOTH Obama and Clinton have started many of their answers with "I agree with he/she just said." How is this crap a debate? 

Dictionary.com definition of debate: a discussion, as of a public question in an assembly, involving opposing viewpoints.

They are even standing side by side, like they are on a team, Not facing eachother they way I imagine Lincoln and Douglas did.

Obama is saying that uniting together is what will get change to happen in this country.

Ok, I will post another blog during the next commercial break.
