The Great Debate

Alaska's senatorial race is in the home stretch. I just watched a debate between the candidates and was left with these impressions:

Lisa looked and sounded like a meth-cranked fugitive from a bulimia clinic caught in the headlights of an on-rushing 18-wheeler. My God! If this is what running a write-in campaign does to a person, no one should mess with it.

Scott looked and sounded like someone you'd want to sit down and have 10 or 12 beers and a couple foot-long, double-bacon-cheeseburgers with. He should invite Lisa.

Joe looked like a cross between Pee Wee Herman and Bela Lugosi, and sounded like someone running for student council president in1953. States Rights? Creationism? Joe must have thought he was back at Drop Zone Security with his skinhead pals.

I honestly would have to give the debate to McAdams. He was self-assured, knowledgeable on the issues, and, given the company, should have scored big points for just coming across as a normal, decent human being.

They just got darker. The Tea Party's own slogan says it all--taking the country BACK.

I'm depressed. There are little nuggets of shining moments as you pointed out one or two in today's blog, but overall I'm pretty disappointed in Amurka.

It's interesting that polls (can you trust them?) still show the majority supporting things like NOT extending tax cuts to the richest, and for spending to save the economy. But they vote opposite of that. It's all upside down.
