Happy to be wrong

It looks like my earlier prediction about the presidential debates being boring was dead wrong. Last night's first debate between Bush and Kerry was just about as substantive and informative as I could hope for. They tussled long and hard over the issues, and Jim Lehrer did a fine job of moderating.
Nevertheless, I think Open Debates makes an important point that the debates' organizing authority should be nonpartisan and independent. I hope their argument isn't lost in the weeks to come.
But I'm glad I was wrong!
