Of the crowd of assholes they had in the primaries, I was more concerned about Romney and Rudy than about McCain in a one-on-one versus either Obama or Clinton.

Really? I thought Rudy would be a disaster. You think people wanna talk about John Edwards?
BlueinColorado
No, certainly not. And Rudy is and was a disaster. But he had a lot of the rah-rah 9/11 kill-all-the-liberals folks eating out of the palm of his, um, hoof. Or talon.
Anyway, maybe my view on this is skewed because Rudy had fairly strong support, at least early on, here in Teh Glans™.

"This will be an interesting experiment," said Diane Winston, a USC professor of media and religion. "It could be a real breakthrough in our political discourse. If Warren is correct and people really want to hear a different political side, and he gets the numbers, it may trigger reporters thinking, 'How are we doing things and do we want to do it differently?'"
Where is the different side? It's the same side we always get, just cut closer to the bone, maybe.
Winston said most political coverage focuses on minutiae or the horse race aspect – who is leading in the polls? She said values and ethics matter to Americans regardless of their religious affiliation. But because exploring those issues in sound bites is hard, the topics are overlooked.
While the first part is true, the second part is the filter through which the first part is considered. Come on!

Dr. Jorge Rodriguez, a Newport Beach HIV specialist, said he's eager to watch the forum, though he fears the discussion of AIDS will not address subjects that can be touchy for churches and politicians.
"It is a lot more sterilized and socially acceptable to be concerned about people who got HIV in Africa – because they acquired it in a heterosexual way – than to discuss the real, core issues of why Americans are getting it, which have to do with sexuality, poverty, lack of education, drug use," said Rodriguez, president of the AIDS Services Foundation Orange County board. "These are segments of the population that don't really get people votes."

I tell the Evangelicals that 1955 was the least stressful year of my life. Of course I also tell them that I wasn't actually born until 1956 and I'm actually looking forward to the year after I die because I can only assume that it will be just as tranquil as the one preceding my birth.
Given that, they can take their magic sky kingdon and all the ridiculous rules necessary for entry and shove it. I'm not fuckin' interested.

The first ex-Mrs. Sinf's family are big-time Methodists. Her grandfather was the minister who married us.
Once, Mormons came to the door on Christmas Eve. MIL invited them in, offered refreshments, had them show their video and do the whole thing ... then told them her father was a Methodist minister, and thanks but no thanks.
That was actually pretty funny.

This...issue will never be cleared up among 50% of the republican voters and Hillary supporters. The event was staged as McCain appeared to know the answers before Warren was finished giving him the questions.
So in my humble opinion this event was used to show McCain as quick on his feet with answers, friendly, folksey, humorous, All American hero and also a platform for him to go on and on about being a POW and the folks at CNN were all in on it.
