			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What was that spectacle ABC put on last night?</p>
<p>It wasn&#8217;t really a debate between Democratic Candidates, as much as it was a littany of &#8220;gotcha&#8221; moments between moderators and Candidates.</p>
<p>Any real substantive issue was not covered until well into the 1st hour of the program.  Instead, the moderators seemed hell bent on examining every gaffe, mis-statement, controversy thus far in the campaign season.</p>
<p>This is not a Republican or a Democratic issue.  This is a media issue.  It was a bad night for American Journalism, and this is definitely not the kind of debate I want to see in the General Election.</p>
<p>Maybe I&#8217;m just old-fashioned, but I for one, am interested in the issues of the day, and how they impact our Country.</p>
<p>Or maybe I&#8217;ve just found myself in some weird parallel universe.</p>
