Bay Area politics junkies who watched the debate Thursday night were mostly disappointed no matter who their preferred candidate is.

OAKLAND -- East Bay residents packed a coffeehouse in Oakland to watch the two candidates square off in the presidential debate Thursday night. Many said it was a tough debate to get through and they left with concerns about Pres. Biden's bid for a second term.Andrew Sigal was one of many who crowded the Awaken Cafe in downtown Oakland for the debate watch party. Unlike others, he left shortly after the first commercial break.'I'm devastated,' Sigal said.

'This election is a choice between 'you need to get somewhere and a couple of vehicles pull up,'' said Cortt Dunlap, owner of Awaken Cafe. 'One's a Model T and the other is the electric chair and I think the choice is clear. He might not be as sharp as he once was but I believe he believes in democracy.'Mr. Biden's performance sounded the alarm for many Democrats who are concerned with the president's age and ability to serve another term.
