McCain is a bull

there's a difference in these candidates' approaches - one provides detail, listens to his opponent, acknowledges similarities and differences. the other is a bull. u-pick.

Jim Lehrer

is not a good moderator. he wants to put the candidates in a jar and shake it, see if they'll fight.

McCain debate foolishness

a crisis shows what a person is made of. McCain would like to claim that he is made of tough stuff, based on his survival of the POW experience. this is an opportunity for him to demonstrate that he still has the capability of being calm and steadfast under pressure, and that he remains capable of making thoughtful, well-balanced decisions to resolve the crisis. both candidates should be ON THE RECORD about how they want to deal with the crisis, before they have an opportunity to start using 20/20 hindsight to say what they *would* have done.

Message to the world

please forgive us. the size of our country tends to blend the stupidity of our vocal majorities across the faces of those of us who are less reactionary and more moderate/considered in our views.
