art,

i read that same article a couple hours earlier. i too thought it was interesting, particularly the last paragraph. so true. the debate over the debate has so much influence on how our country perceives the candidates.

and it is sad how a 5 o'clock shadow, wrong color tie or suit, mispronounced word, or a snappy comeback that may not even add to the discussion can tilt an election one way or the other.
