Have you watched any of the Democratic debates? And if so, what is your opinion of them? Apparently some of the candidates are having a few qualms about the effectiveness of these telecasts, given the large number of participants.

Do you think debates are effective under these conditions?
They used to be effective question and answer sessions when they and the politicians weren't so controlled. Now they are question and soundbite sessions and rarely answers to the question asked.
