Leej, I think you summed this up marvelously. What I can't believe is how much discussion there is about the surplus. Admittedly, I'm very ignorant about such matters, but given that we're in the longest period of prosperity ever, why does anyone think there will even be a surplus next year, or 4 years from now? Talk about counting your chickens before they hatch. I'd like to know what these guys plan to do when everyone figures out the stock market as it is today is just a big pyramid scheme. OK, not all of it, but a lot of it.

I'd also like to know who these debates are aimed at. Anyone who is undecided at this point, probably isn't interested in sitting through 90 minutes of debate. What I'd rather see is 3 evenings of serious discussion each of a different topic. Let these candidates really get into the details. Let them show that there is substance behind the sound bytes. Would America tune in? I doubt it.

I can't believe I missed the "History of Sex..."
