washingtonpost.com — "Gibson and Stephanopoulos dwelled entirely on specious and gossipy trivia that already has been hashed and rehashed, in the hope of getting the candidates to claw at one another over disputes that are no longer news. Some were barely news to begin with." ....Disappointing SOAP OPERA version of a serious debate.

Here's what I put on their feedback site here - if you thought their coverage was awful, I'd recommend you let them know:<a class="user" href="http://abcnews.go.com/Site/page?id=3271346&cat=ABC%20News%20Specials">http://abcnews.go.com/Site/page?id=3271346&cat=ABC ...</a>I am incredibly offended by how your network ran tonight's Democraticdebate. Rather than engaging in discussions of the candidatespolicies, the moderators spent 60 minutes asking about flag pins, andother things that did nothing to educate myself or other voters ofwhat the candidates stand on - save perhaps how to weather annoyingand biased questions.I nearly turned the TV off. Last ABC political show I'll watch for some time.

Senator Obama is a man of no accomplishments, a man of no accomplishments other than getting elected to the United States Senate, and before that, to the Illinois State Senate. He’s done nothing, he has a wafer-thin legislative record, he wrote an autobiography about nothing. So when you have such a man running for president, all you can tell about him are who he has chosen to spend his life with. He’s chosen to spend his life with this kind of yuppy play terrorist who led the Weather Underground, and the neo-segregationist, racist, ranter like Jeremiah Wright. That’s really all we know about Barack Obama, and it’s entirely legitimate to ask him about it.

John Sidney McCain - nice solid name for a great American.Hillary Rodham Clinton - authentic American women leave their maiden name behind when they marry. Identifes Hillary as a butch feminist.Barack Hussein Obama - certainly diverse, 'nough said...

I'm more concerned about the future of people in general. Why should I love a country so much just because I was born there? I consider myself lucky to have been born here, however I don't care about it more than the rest of the world.
