      What does everyone think of the debate's decidedly adversarial and argumentative approach this time through? The candidates are being allowed to directly address each others' comments.
 
  Personally I love it, but I still think that they should be required to cite their references for any claims of "fact" that they make.  |

      In my opinion, the fact that they respond directly (and sometimes even interrupt each other) allows them to clarify their direct points way more than their stump speeches.

      I liked the format...they were able to answer eachother.  It really cut out the media's bias in these debates.  
 
  McCain was not going to let OBAMA's lies stand...that's for sure.  |
