After Thursday night’s roller-coaster ride on the YouBetchaExpress, this evening’s presidential debate was relatively staid. I thought Barack Obama clearly led the night, but McCain’s final two answers were stronger.
Your thoughts?
I’m not going to be able to finish the story I was supposed to write this week because I need to go to Washington to save the economy. This has nothing to do with the fact that I’ve fallen behind on my interviews. It’s because I love my country more than you do.
If you truly believe in putting your country first, my friends, you’ll join me in dropping all your previous commitments for this week so that you too can contribute to this bipartisan effort.
If McCain bails on tomorrow night’s presidential debate, they should scrounge up two extra microphones and open up the debate to three presidential candidates who actually want to be there — Libertarian Party candidate Bob Barr, Green Party candidate Cynthia McKinney (both from Georgia) and Constitution Party Chuck Baldwin
Among other things, I’m curious to know if Baldwin seems as crazy when he speaks as he does when he writes.
Are you tired of always watching the debates alone and yelling at the television set? Your cat looks at you confused, wondering why its food-provider is cursing at the thing he/she always rubs its face against? Well, you might not be, but we sure as hell are! So we take it to the Series of Tubes!
Just like we did on Super Tuesday, CL Editor Ken Edelstein and I — and maybe some other CL folks — will be live-blogging CNN’s Democratic debate on Thursday, Feb. 21. The shindig is co-sponsored by Univision, which means we’ll finally be able to put to rest the age-old question about Anderson Cooper and Jorge Ramos. You know, how they’re the same person. What did you think I was talking about?
Details on drinking-game rules, dress code, etc., will follow in the days to come. But be sure to visit here and chime in. We don’t have to go through this dreary process alone, people.
