O warriors, look within

I was perusing all the Twitter posts well after tonight's debate ended, and found this particularly delightful.

That's my friend Grace, followed by famous self-proclaimed geek Wil Wheaton, tweeting at the same time about the last question of the town hall debate.

So which was it - awesome, or epic fail? I remarked to BB at the time that this final question was quintessential Brokaw. I've always noted that mile-wide philosophical streak in the man. Shoot, if Brokaw had delivered the final question as haiku, I would not have been surprised. So I liked it, and listened closely to hear how each candidate would answer. (Neither really did - big shocker!)

Question was awesome, though the answers didn't quite live up to it. Which is to say, not at all.

I thought Obama stood the better chance of answering it philosophically, but both segued into their scripted closing remarks, which was disappointing (though hardly surprising).

The question was not bad. The scripted answers wouldn't have been bad if I hadn't heard them 147 times before. Honestly, does anyone who can possibly care NOT know Obama's father came from Kenya to find his dream and that McCain had a rough stay in the Hanoi Hilton?
