Quote of the Day
“For a guy who’s got nothing but adoring press for seven years, and is unknown to 70 percent of the public, it’s not easy to win if you’re a single-issue candidate. Our feeling is, bring him on.” -- Democratic State Chairman Joseph Cryan, on Republican Chris Christie, who is resigning as U.S. Attorney to run for Governor.

Boring Debate, I wonder why?
OK, I am not one of those that continually spouts off about the liberal media ... well, yes I am, but let's assume I'm not for a moment.
A town hall meeting with a liberal democrate moderator, who is given the power to select the questions. Interesting (no further comment, you can fill in my rant that could go on for several paragraphs).
We got what topics? Economy - OK that IS important, especially with the current situation. Defenss - That is always important. But essentially that was it. Why were no questions selected that asked things like: "For both of you, tell us about your voting record and your position on partial birth abortion, and if they differ, please tell us why your position has changed." Now that would have sent-up a few fireworks. How about policy discussions relating to religion, gun control, education.
My last comment (which I am actually stealing from a caller on a radio call-in show) Does anybody find in curious, or at least humorous, that the average joe's asking the questions at the debate had such a hard time reading their own questions? They wrote them, why did it sound like every single one of them struggled to read their own question. I found it both curious and humorous.
