A...I know this may seem like peer pressure and frankly...it is. I really think you should go. I think your head is clear enough to come back filled with ideas and angles maybe not many of us have considered.

I still think Ty is weighed bias against McCain, especially with some of what he said.
Maybe the debate will give him some levity.

LoL...
I don't have a bias, that would more more or less a pretty unqualified view...I had no real opinion of McCain prior to this campaign..And too, I think that you may feel I take this more seriously than I really do...
Real talk...
I think McCain is a nice guy, I really do...But what is there about him as a candidate would I find particularly attractive..? As a 31 year old black man living in an already shitty southern economy, struggling to take care of my family, what has McCain said that would make me feel like he'll look out for guys like me..? Certainly not a $300 tax cut, shit that's 2 tanks of gas and a maybe a couple weeks worth of groceries...I only like trickle down economics if I'm the one doing the trickling...My light bill alone was $230 today...Me and Mr. McCain, we have nothing in common...If he wasn't a candidate for President, and just a regular guy living here in Starkville, we would have no reason to ever talk or meet...
So, its not like I'm all lined up ready to ride Barak's jock, McCain just hasn't said anything to resonate with me...Not even in the bullshit political sense...So, if that's a bias, sure...But I think to have a bias I would have to be presented with some evidence to the contrary of what I just said, and still continued to feel the way I do without some form or reason...That's just not the case...McCain cares about folk in a different tax bracket than I am, and cash rules everything around me, so....It's not bias...It's just good business...
x3n, if I go to the debate, you will know more about it that I will...I'll probably look into it again, but when I last checked there was absolutely no green light for me to be there in a useful capacity...
