Do you really think debates make a difference now?

Statistics are showing that debates don't make much of a difference at this stage of the game. Everyone has picked their candidates and are ready to defend them, right or wrong.

Are we so apathetic that we really allow the media to sway us in our beliefs? What's happened to us? No more porches, no more getting to know your neighbors, no more time to enjoy the good things in life. Taking a walk, laughing with friends, listening to your kids. I guess I'm getting old!!!
