Who won the debate, Chapter 1
I just got finished watching the
Lamont-Schlesinger-Lieberman
Debate. Before doing so I read a number of internet reactions from people who
obviously don't have day jobs, so my own opinion is polluted by those of others.
The consensus seems to be that Schlesinger won, which was really foreordained if you think about it. He was the one with the least to prove and the most to gain. It was odd that Joe seemed truly surprised that Schlesinger was attacking him. Did he really expect that Schlesinger would try to pick off Lamont voters?
Lamont comes in second. Let us all face it; he is not a good debater. Both Schlesinger and Lieberman are lawyers and long time politicians; they simply have more experience than him at that sort of thing. Ned is too dependent on his talking points. He comes in second because he didn't hurt himself and he wasn't grievously hurt by anyone else. Most of the fire was directed at Lieberman.
Lieberman loses. He's a whiner. Does he really think that voters want to hear him incessantly attack Lamont for attacking him? Most people realize that political candidates attack each other.
He truly is a mendacious individual, isn't he. Interesting article on Joe's lies here by David Sirota by the way.
