Yea, I totally agree. Actually the first debate was supposed to be solely on National Security. But with the bailout bill and the financial crisis happening all in the week prior, they devoted a lot of time too it (more than i thought was necessary).

And, I think town hall debates are Supposed to be open to whatever questions the audience wants, but Brokaw said that he read over and choose all the ?s that would be asked, and even asked 1 or 2 of his own. So, it wasn't really a town hall format by definition.

But, lets hope that we can get some dialogue on some other important issues form here on out...although I am not crossing my fingers.
