John McCain and Obama debate versus the 2011 Republican Debates

This clip talks about a debate for the 2008 election between President Obama and Senator John McCain. I found it interesting the similarities and differences in the thoughts about the debate from 2008 and the debates between the Republican Candidates going on right now. They talked about how the debate was dull and not interesting enough, however, I would say for the Republican debates going on right now, they are a little to interesting. The policies and political thought are not necessarily what has been making this years debates animated and interesting. Maybe the reason the debates going on right now are interesting and animated is due to the fact that it is all republicans fight against each other versus a republican and a democrat running for the presidential seat.
