<p>This was a LOT more ‘fair and balanced’ than any of the other debates I’ve seen. Hillary, Obama, Paul and huckabee were the only candidates to accept the invitations. The format was different: The candidates had more time to elaborate their points, and the questions were grittier.</p>

<p>It was particularly interesting to see the candidates’ reactions to the immediate responses of the audience, which included ‘definitely voting for him/her,’ ‘more likely,’ and ‘didn’t buy it.’ The candidate would provide and explanation and then a large percentage would say ‘didn’t buy it’ and then the candidate would be asked to respond to that!</p>
