First debate tonight. CBS has a handy-dandy scorecard that is all about performance without addressing any issues.

Their final thought:

"A review of past CBS News polls shows debates have only a minor impact. In 1980 and 1996, the debates had negligible impact on the polls. In 1984, a majority believed Walter Mondale won the first debate but that barely dented Reagan's lead in the horserace. "

So, debates are meaningless, eh? Will I watch anyway? Definitely.
