2 DEBATES, 2 IMPRESSIONS...

Short takes...

On the latest Cali recall debate: The format was unwieldy, the statements seemed canned (given that questions were provided ahead of time), and the free-for-all rodeo into which the debate disintegrated plays well into Gray Davis' "circus" commercials.

On today's Presidential Debate: Edwards had his best performance yet (the debate leaned towards economic issues, where he's strongest). Dean looked and sounded good -- he seems to have worked out the collar issue mentioned in HBO's "K Street" -- and he thoroughly spanked Gephardt on the Gingrich-comparison issue. Good lines from Sharpton, though one of the questioners annoyingly talked down to the two black candidates at one point.

The Prez debate will be rebroadcast tonight on MSNBC at 6pm and again at 10pm, worth a look.
