My Random Thoughts During the Debate

Just tuned in and am wondering how it will go. Will McCain push Ayers? This post might not sound cohesive. I am just sharing my thoughts as they ocurred during the debate. Perhaps you had the same thoughts. Maybe you didn’t. Let me know.

On the first question, Mc Cain has not quite yet answered why his plan is better than Obama’s. Read more »
