Lots of stuff going on in downtown St. Petersburg with the GOP debate tonight, and Creative Loafing’s non-pack journalism truth will shine through like a beacon in the night.
Bullshit aside, we’ll have four reporters on hand at all the rallies, straw polls, protests, fat-cat parties, the debate Spin Room and most of the major restrooms in the area to give complete coverage of the real issues, e.g. why does the MSM so love Mike Huckabee, considering he was virulently anti-press as governor, even vindictively pulling one newspaper off his office’s e-mail distribution list? Or how he worked so hard to free a rapist? Or why Rudy Giuliani is loading up his campaign with dangerous war-mongering neocons like Norman Podhoretz and talking tough about Iran? Or why Big Coal is sponsoring the debate? Or what is feels like to stand near Chuck Norris in the Spin Room?
Post a comment if you have a question you want us to pursue, or if you are at one of the rallies or protests and have a perspective to add? I’ll add coverage in comments as the night progresses.
