Nathan Moore's Thoughts
Disappointing
Bob Krumm is glad that the debate field has finally been pared down. I am a political person – I enjoy following the process, and on an occasion here and there, getting involved in it. I too have gotten a bit tired of the marginal candidates getting equal air time (and where the heck did Alan Keyes come from in that last debate??).

If there ever was a C-SPAN pay-per-view opportunity, this is it: Paul v. Kucinich, an intellectual WCW matchup for the ages. I think we let Al Sharpton host it.

Let ZogbyReutersCNN…etc. anoint the choice of the people. Good thing we have you people to tell us what we actually think. I guess I can go back to watching American Idol on TiVO.
