1. No.
That's why I switched over to Jericho at 10:00.

Did I miss anything earthshattering?





Didn't think so.

2. We were watching the NY Philharmonic concert in North Korea. Amazing!
You could not tear me away from my TV during that 2 hour performance!

But in today's NY Times Condi Rice was quoted as making a snide remark about how music wasn't gonna cut it for diplomacy, Dana Perino said "A concert is just a concert." The White HOuse must be royally pissed about how well received and beautifully played the concert was. It was a thrill to watch...

3. If there are any more debates
I think the moderators should make a rule that they are not allowed to argue anymore about health care mandates. That subject has been beaten to death in debates and they said nothing new on it last night.

6. Debates are not for us, decided voters. But they show me plenty.
really, the only venues I got some direct info on candidates - beyond propaganda and MSM worship/attacks. Loopsided as they are, they still inform the voter.

8. more debates would not help if they don't start talking about the issues
i'm sick of attacks & crap. i want the meat & potatoes. so far neither one has been willing to actually talk about their positions. its bullshit.

10. You mean, last night wasn't about the issues? You could have fooled me!

Same for the last 2 debates before that. Just because your candidate can barely say more than "what she said" doesn't make the debates non-substantial.

15. i want in depth debates, not sound bites
and all we have been "treated to" so far is sound bites. that is not much to base a vote on. and until in depth debates happen, i am writing in my candidate because the others have nothing to say.

FYI, i don't support either candidate, and won't vote for either, if i don't hear something soon.

I literally felt sick to my stomach after last night's - ok, so it could be a leftover flu bug but damn I'm tired of the bullshit.
