LAT: Bad debate, mostly political theater

The LAT editorial page today blasted both of last night's debaters and moderator Gwen Ifill. In a sour editorial, the LAT said the only good thing to come out of the debate was that "Biden left voters with a more constructive vision of the government and a more compelling case for how it has failed the nation under President Bush." If bigger government in control of health care, air lines and railroads, banks, energy of every sort such as oil and gas, nuclear power, wind and solar, auto manufacturing, mortgage loans, the housing industry and most other parts of your life is constructive then the LAT is right. The swipe at President Bush is merely an habitual knee-jerk reaction.
