Well, I'd have to say that the biggest news of the past two weeks has been the vice-presidential and presidential debates.  It seems like everyone I know has been watching them and talking about them. I know many of you have been assigned to watch them by some of your teachers.  

Most commenters felt that the vice-presidential debate was a tie with no clear winner, although Democrats seemed to think Biden won, and Republicans felt Palin did better.  What do you think?  Was it confusing to understand? Many of these issues are confusing even for lifelong English speakers.

After the second presidential debate, most political sites declared Obama the clear winner, but when they asked undecided voters, it was just about even, with 14% now decided for McCain, and 15% now decided to vote for Obama.  More people may have felt Obama won the debate, but according to polls only 57% feel Obama is prepared for the job of president, while 84% think McCain is prepared.  That to me is very interesting. 

Again, what did you think? Did you watch it? Do you think one of the candidates would be a better president than the other.  Please let me know.
