Political anxiety
I live in Oklahoma and feel that much of great importance is at stake in the elections. I realize I am powerless to significantly impact what will happen. I feel that looking at new polling data every day is insufficient. I love my man, but hate him as a candidate alost as much as the other guy. I get really, really angry. And I hate Sarah Palin to the extent that I have involuntarily lost my crush on Tina Fay as a result. I need a therapist and some good whiskey. I control myself, but in my head... I am a complete basket case.

I keep telling myself, just wait until the debates, Dan. Then we'll get some meaningful discussion of the issues.
Yeah. In my Pants!
Here is ALL that I remember from previous debates.
2004 - "You forgot Poland."
2000 - Al Gore sighing and interrupting.
1996 - Bob Dole: "I can't say whether cigarettes are bad for you or not. Some people say MILK is bad for you."
1992 - The Admiral
1988 - Lloyd Bentsen vs. Danforth's Adam's Apple.
1984 - Reagan making Mondale laugh.
There. That's it. As a reasonably informed person who follows the news, that is ALL I CAN REMEMBER ABOUT DEBATES in the past 24 years. If you want to make a decision based on issues, you have to do a lot of homework, and 95% of us simply aren't willing to do that. So we stick with the simple things. Looks. Personality. Biography. Quotent quotables. Blech.
