3rd Presidential Debate of Obama and McCain

Whether the 3rd presiential debate between Obama and Mccain met the academic standard for argumentation and debate?

My answer is in the negative. The first to third questions perhaps it met the academic standard for debating and arguing. This is because the elements and contents of the issues being post were answered and elucidated by both the contending Presidentiables with data's and claim's.

Withal, the totality of it transpired as a mere politicking and impugning each other not on the issues but more on personal attacks and the way the bandwagon maneuvering of their political advertisement. John McCain commenced the same by proffering and accusing his adversary of resorting to strategy of maligning his reputation publicly. McCain wants the younger Obama to yield in and advise the staff of the latter from ceasing the attacks.

I think the debate between them went into circus rather than facing the issues that need to be answered thoroughly and intelligently by the next commander in-chief of the most powelful nation of the world. Furthermore, the usual argumentation and debate are being done within which the speaker who is being given a time to answer the issue being raised by a facilitator. Nonetheless, in my observation between the debates of Obama and McCain those were violated by both. This is so because of the usual interruption of the other party, without the other being finished with his arguments.
