Questions for the Candidates
With the final presidential debate scheduled for Wednesday and the previous two having revealed absolutely nothing about the candidates, I have taken it upon myself to suggest some questions for CBS’ Bob Schieffer, who will do the moderating chores. I assure you that the candidates have not seen the questions in advance nor, when the time comes, will they want to answer them. I flipped a coin and Senator Obama goes first. Senator Obama, you are sooooooooo cool. Can you tell us, please, the last time you lost your temper and what about? You have two minutes.
Ready to Lead?
He might still win. And then, again, he might not. What matters most, in some sense, is that Capt. John McCain has chosen not to strike his colors. There is enormous potential significance in McCain’s attempt to rise from the inanity and waste of the weeks since the GOP presidential convention. How do we know for sure he’s making the attempt? We can’t for sure. We can’t know anything in this crazy, extraordinary year of 2008. What we can deduce is that he knows what he’s about to get is plow-cleaned the way things are going. He knows, from deep experience, that it’s time to do something, namely, lead.
