Especially anything that has been poll tested. I liked the debate because for the most part both sides are abondening the de-regulation fetish. McCain while he is happy to promise all sorts of stuff seems to have no idea how to pay for it. I wonder if the fact that McCain has never had to balance his personal finances doesn't make it impossible for him to understand that someone has to pay for stuff.

The fact that NBC was hosting it...General Electric...I can see why they'd want to focus on dangerous countries abroad, in hopes that some General Electric bombs can be purchased at a stupid price. I was tired and burnt out from work, but even so, I could have been interested in it had they actually discussed some topics that hadn't already been beaten to death months ago.
