Because I am mighty tired... bone and spirit tired... of all this.
My guy looked good last night, but he... like not-my-guy... was essentially repeating memorized speeches, all of which I heard verbatim at the first debate.
The moment for which I was grateful was when my guy was finally forced to answer the question: "Health care: a privilege, a right or a responsibility?"
And he finally, blessedly, said, "A right." Thank you Senator.
And here's the best commentary on that issue: thanks to my friend Jane R at Acts of Hope. Theologian Mary Hunt says, we should have health care not because we have a job, but because we have bodies. Amen to that.
Bring out the polling booths.

Sigh. Agreed.

mostly I found the debate to be just boring...which was very sad...
