Iowa Caucus Tonight

[Drolefille]

Paul was excluded from the Fox "round table" debate that they're doing before NH. He was invited to the ABC debate. I suspect Fox wanted 4 people, not 5 and that, unlike conspiracy theorists it's due to wanting the most likely candidates along with a reasonable number of people around a table. The ABC debate is a "normal" one with podiums and the like and they're taking the top 5 candidates from each party.

Or you know, the "main-stream media" is keeping Paul down. Wait it's Fox... it must be Paul's views on the Iraq war, yeah that's it. I've not seen so much "omg conspiracy" from a candidate's supporters before.

The ABC debate is non-traditional, from what I understand. Unstructured debate amongst each other for the first 45 minutes (with no time limit for candidates), while they sit at a table, then a traditional debate format for the second half. It should be interesting to see who dominates the conversation.

I'll see if I can bring myself to sit down and watch.

Whatever happened to the days of three Presidential and one Vice Presidential debate after the conventions.

I'm tired of this campaign already.

It became old about a year ago. Now, it's all about the laughs. Too bad that the joke will be on all of us.

Let's ditch the party system.

Everyone can be eligible for write in votes and whoever gets the most loses -- I mean wins.

No campaigning. Just a big popularity contest.

Either that, or just let Oprah pick the winner.
