starting a political debate here on the chipboard but instead was wondering how many people actually watched the debates as I feel it important that every American know as much as they can about every candidate from both parties.

Only then can people make an informed decision on who to vote for.

It is unfortunate that some early posters took this as an opportunity to express their dislike for an opposing party as that was not the purpose of my post.

I personally want to hear the platforms of every single candidate of all parties before voting for a position of such importance to our country.

If some people have made up their mind about who they are going to vote for before they even know what the choices are or what those people stand for, then this country is in way worse shape than I thought it was.

Again, not trying to start a political debate here, just want people to be informed.
