Any Thoughts on the Third Republican Debate?

I don't have a TV, so I tried to get the live stream of the Republican debate on Wednesday. Well, it seems that if one doesn't have a cable subscription, you are just out of luck. So, I went to YouTube and watched the first tier debate that aired a few hours earlier. It was painful. I think I shut it off early. Last night I watched the whole 8pm debate before CBS cried "Copyright infringement!" and took it off of Youtube. So now I don't know if anyone can see a copy of this debate. I may have to go to a sports bar to see the next one. If one does not have a cable subscription, how can one see the debates? Some innovative people got out their cameras and filmed themselves watching the debate, along with their own opinions of the process. I tapped into a couple of those, but they were more than painful. It was like sitting in the living room of a complete stranger, watching the debate through their camera, and having to listen to them tell you what they think. I'm not that lonely. So, what are your thoughts? Do you favor any of the candidates more or less now? I'm a registered Democrat, but am switching this next year in order to vote Republican.

Even if you can't get a live stream (which you can with some of the debates but not others) they usually put it on youtube the next day. The debate was actually a good one in that one really got a lot from most candidates on issues. The moderators had a "gotcha" attitude that really was insolent and insulting and not designed to elicit information on policies. I wrote a post on my thoughts on the debate. I missed the earlier debate of the second tier, but I suppose it doesn't really matter now, they are too far out of the possible candidates.
