Its hardly a debate. Its more like a longer version of the Neshoba stumps that they have taken on the road. They should be doing them in tents to more closely approximate the circus sideshow atmosphere.

I didn't see the debate; we were in the throes of press night. But the woman who attended for us called it a "circus" as well and bemoaned the repeated sound bites. I think I'm glad I missed it, although I think there's a tape floating around that I'll probably be forced to watch. Argh.
