I am really looking forward to hearing McCain stop pandering and start being his usual self and I really want to hear how Obama plans to pay for all his programs. -Doug At some point I picked up an incurable disease that causes me to be very interested in politics.

Is this beneficial to the Huckabee surge, or does it play up immigration issues in a way that's detrimental to the sitting senators (who've had to cast actual votes on the matter)? Seriously, this stuff is like pre-baseball-season baseball chatter. Except political fans only get a really good game every 4 years, if that (1988, 1996 -- were these real games at all?), so we have to make a lot of fuss about it. Given that the folks who decide what airs on NPR are probably mostly politics-"fans" what do you expect? How do you all think Pete’s annoyance affects Hillary’s chances?

Watching the Gop (seriously? I know it's supposed to be read 'Grand Old Party', but to me it's just "Gop", i.e. rhymes with "Pop") "debate" yesterday was strangely entertaining, especially when they staged their evolution question to have the Creationist candidates identify themselves to their constituents without having to take a public stance on the issue. What fun! :) But, to be fair, I never pay attention for more than ten minutes at a time - were I listening to NPR, I would be annoyed by anything more than scant coverage I'm sure. Best wishes!
