Eric Weddle, writing for the Lafayette Journal & Courier, has an article on what local residents would like to hear during the Presidential debate. I got a quote in there:
Doug Masson, a Lafayette blogger who writes on state politics, doesn’t expect much from either candidate.
“The questions will be superficial and the responses won’t address them anyway and the candidates will mostly talk past each other,” he said. “But, maybe I’m just cynical.”
Aren’t I just a little ray of sunshine? The other folks seem hopeful about getting direct answers on a variety of topics such as Iraq, foreign policy generally, and food & gas prices.
Fixed that for you:
Does this mean the war hero is gonna show?
To fulfill a long time dream, I’d like to see a pair of real, formal debates:
#1. “Resolved – that Barack Obama should be the next President of the United States.”
Speaking Pro – Barack Obama
Speaking Con – John McCain
#2. “Resolved – that John McCain should be the next President of the United States.”
Speaking Pro – John McCain
Speaking Con – Barack Obama
That would interest me more than the pointless talking head driven symposiums that we get these days.
Doug, can you use your new-found media notoriety to make this happen?
Not only is the guy gonna show, he’s already WON. According to his ads.

Maybe they’ll ask Obama if the surge was a good idea, but forget to ask McCain if the war was.
T,
You know you can’t ask McCain or Palin questions!
Doing that makes you sexist or unpatriotic
