Both Presidential and VP, should be good tv all around. I do hope Obama brings his testicles with him. I know Biden will. :)

And, of course, let's hope Americans put their thinking caps on while viewing.

    Sadly, only 2 people are debating ...

    and the formats, one minite, then 30 second response ... I mean, can someone really get into substance with answers that are essentially, political commercials?

    One thing I agree with McCain on ... there should be a series of town halls ... I like that idea ...

    these debates, while important, still aren't a great measure of the candidates .. which is a shame because for a majority of Americans, it is the only thing they will pay attention to.

    I wonder if McCain will survive. He doesn't even know who the President of Spain is. A major NATO ally....

    I agree too.. I wish that happened. However, the spin monkeys on both sides would probably have ruined it with hundreds of out-of-context attacks.
