yeah i was surprised how good this debate was- I agree the camera work was pretty bad- but I think the youtube-ness of the whole evening forced candidates to be a little more honest, since if their audience was savvy enough to submit videos on youtube, they’re prob less likely to buy into certain talking points, can’t wait for the republicans though..
