  1. Beautiful. I think we should do more of these.. It’s a good way to publicize the debates. Also, “always have, always will” is totally the new catch phrase.

  2. Beautiful. I can totally see a whole market for “always have, always will” anti-Kilgore swag…. t-shirts… bumper stickers… podcasts if you do more… a cafepress store…

    *coughs* Sorry. Lowell asks me to come up with ideas for his site and look what happens. :D Nice meeting you at the Obama event.

  3. “Always trust the people.” I loved Kilgore’s elsion between “always trust the people” and the presumption that therefore the people should trust him. But if enough people heard the debate, I doubt they’d give the debate nod to Kilgore. He spouts more buck passing than clear answers about how he’d lead. I read teh transcript and found him to be laughable–except for the fact that a major party has let me run as their leader. He’s an empty vessel. All he offered were platitudes and personal attacks. Hmmm… I think he’s been schooled in the GW Bush “compassionate heart,” “trust me,” then “stick it to the voters method of leadership.

  4. Oops. Typing too fast for my own good. (Must be a Freudian slip.) I meant a major party let him run. And given how nasty some of the personal attacks have been , we are lucky anyone runs. I sure wouldn’t (not that I’m qualified anyway). So, I give a lot of credit to Kaine for trying to save us from the Kilgore’s of the world.
