Like the debates are probably going to be useful to help sway people who generally just don't give a shit and don't spend the time to keep informed, as long as the media will actually tell them, "yup, these fuckers are lying about this shit" in as many words. But there's a certain percentage of the population who you're just not ever going to convince that Obama ISN'T, in fact, a Kenyan Muslin Soshilust Commie Atheist with a radical preacher mentor that wants to get all of their lily white teenage daughters pregnant, indoctrinate them into satanism/socialism/whatever and then force them to get abortions so he can eat the medical waste.
