Debate Fun

James of OTB has a pretty good round-up of the ReCAL debate from tonight. I agree with his basic assessments. The only quibble I have is that I am not sure I would declare Bustamante the winner, except by default, as I found him a bit contradictory and condescending.

Still, for a "scripted" debate, it was fairly lively.

I agree with James that I fail to see the need for Camejo and Huffington to be on the stage.

And, speaking of Huffington, where does she get off calling for Arnold to be honest about who he is? I mean, please, that is a little tough to take given her rather radical (and largely unexplained) make-over in the last several years. And it took some serious cheek to attack Republicans on the "sexual morality" issue, since she pretty much built her early career on the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal. Not to mention she is the only one on the stage to even come close to bringing up the issue by attacking Arnold on the issue of his treatment of women.

All in all, it was entertaining, although precisely what it accomplished remains to be seen.
