It seems that my life is getting in the way of my TV watching (I'm mostly joking) and I didn't see most of the debate ...
I caught the last half hour of the debate and I think that there was way too much time to respond to many of the questions that were asked; it seemed like the candidates tended to adress as much of the question as they intended on answering in the first 30 seconds, and then they decided to meander for a little while until they were close enough to a talking point they wanted to cover in the debate.
