I have to tell you I didn’t expect much from last night’s forum, but I watched it nevertheless, and am happy to have viewed it.

Obama won the coin toss so he was first. McCain was in a soundproof room and couldn’t hear Obama’s answers to the questions.

When Obama was finished McCain was introduced and asked the very same questions by the very same questioner. It seemed to me to be the most fair forum I have seen in my lifetime. Instead of newspeople asking hardball questions of one candidate and lobbing softball questions to the other it was apples to apples and the answers were very revealing.

I’m going to link from the CNN videos so if you didn’t see it you will be able to view it now.

These videos take about two hours to watch, but come back and catch up later.
