Us folks in the Mid-South will not be happy with this. At least send us Palin as a conselation prize.

when it's just you and your husband making out on the couch with the TV on, I don't know that most of us would call that a "party".

how many were going to watch anyway? What they need to do is allow Barr and Nader to participate and it would be a lot more watchable.

It is anticipated that more people will tune in for the VP forum than for the Presidential debate. Of course, slating the debate for a Friday night doesn't really help ratings, I should think.

well, honestly, McCain in HD on a ten foot screen? That's no party any way you look at it. (Assuming you look at all, which I can't say I recommend.)

Where is Admiral Stockdale when we need him? That guy was the stud of all debate performances, hands down.

Ross Perot was very entertaining as well. I have no interest in watching the McBama show.

Of course there will be a debate.

This is an interesting campaign stunt. "This is once-in-a-lifetime crisis. I'm going back to Washington to work on it." "What's that you say? My opponent wants to put down the good work of the people for more politics as usual and debates. Fine, I'll go, but it is not my first choice."

McCain gets some headlines for a news cycle. It is original; I've never heard of this one before.

To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
