I had no particular dog in the US race so the debates were my biggest exposure, gotta say I cant legitimately believe Romney is allowed to run while providing no, or very vague, information on any of his policies. After the first debate Katy Kay from the bbc world news said "Americans dont care about what the candidates say so much as how they say it, they elect a President they want to see, they love a story" and I sat there open mouthed like...really? If that was the case in UK politics no-one would bother to vote, we continually elect the most boring, uninspired people into office, i think having a personality would set you back somewhat.
