Who Won the Debate?
Did you watch the live "West Wing" debate last night? If so, leave a comment letting us know which version you watched (East or West coast) and which candidate you thought won the debate. You can elaborate on why if you wish.

Alda won. That was the single best defense of drilling for oil in ANWAR I have heard.
Having seen the East Coast episode, I personally thought it was a little rough. It was all about a dumbed-down primer of some of today's hot-button issues, as if the producers thought it was their job to introduce Middle America voters to the over-simplified arguments of the matters that will drive them not to the polls.
Given the atypically shitty writing, the acting was great, save that heckler who shouted, "YOU're a liar!" He was the cheapest and worst extra ever brought in for a fake debate, and I'm even including Walter Mondale.
Sadly, my allegiance to Alda makes me want him as my next fake president. But I say this as someone who has refused to watch Commander in Chief because I worried it would make me seem unloyal to President Bartlett. In other words, I've bought way into the Beltway tradition of overthinking such matters to be able to actually decide whose performance was better.
