    Damn. I may have to pay to watch idiotic demagoguery.

    Well here in San Diego they had the Mayoral debate, scheduled during drive time 5pm, and only available on streaming internet video! That makes up for it.

    I never watch the debates. It is easy enough to find out what happened and who had good points and bad, the next day reading various articles rather than waste 2 hours of my life some 16x over.

    Even the They-Thirst-for-Death Republicans realize that on the eve of Tebow's Day people need to prepare for the crushing of the Patriots.

    Pats win, but not in a landslide. Then the Timmy circus goes away for a few months.

    Plus, we have the SC GOP debate in 5 days to look forward to. Different beasts, but another circus just the same.

    @Mary,

    I wonder what insight will come out of the next debate that did not come out in the first 16.

    Beggin' yer pardon, sir. There have been a lot of days where there was no self-respecting debate.

    What is remarkable about today is that there were no flea circuses billed as debates.

    >>> I wonder what insight will come out of the next debate that did not come out in the first 16.

    I know not what it will be, but I do predict that it will not be:
    "Why the hell are we watching this?"
    for the 17th consecutive opportunity.

    Jon Huntsman's bowing out. One of the more reasonable minds leaving the circus. Who will pick up his 2.7 minute allotment of face time in Thursday debate? :)

    @Mary

    Maybe Gary Johnson will come back!
