I’d have something to say about the debate tonight, except by my definition, there was no debate. The rules for this particular get together did not in any way allow for any amount of debate. Doesn’t anyone else on the planet know what a damn debate is? Back and forth commentary, follow-ups, looking your opponent in the face and asking him questions? And to the candidates: just because you have two minutes doesn’t mean you have to use them all plus some. Clear, concise, brief, and to the point. I may babble on my blog, but in a debate or negotiation, I am actually a woman of very few and quite pointed words. I wish politicians would do the same.

Anyway, both candidates behaved and said exactly as I expected. Nothing new learned, but then I am what I would call overly-informed. I didn’t expect to learn anything new.

Glad I took that nap before it started though. I am beat! It’s entirely possible I will not be washing down the whole kitchen tomorrow. I think I will lower my goal to cleaning the stove and fridge.

I’m looking forward to November 4, so I can sleep for about a month straight to make up for all the lost sleep I have had during this incredibly long election cycle. I love the politics, but this one election has gone on for so long. I am ready for it to be over and done with.
