Dems will say they're against same-sex marriage, but they won't ever commit to doing anything about it.

I saw some of it. I thought Burr did a great job. Bowles kept looking off stage, hardly ever at the camera. Of course the N&O poll has Bowles doing better but you know the N&O, it's like a CNN online poll.

I am sorry, this may be wrong, but someone named, Erskine Bowles, should not be allowed in Washington, He sounds like a new space-aged toilet...

I applauded at this one: "You won't see me voting with the party 96 percent of the time," Bowles said. Burr responded: "I'm not embarrassed to vote with the president 96 percent of the time. He's right that often." Burr hit it just right.

I taped it and watched it later last night. This is a pretty good representation of what took place IMO.

I thought both scored some points, mostly on past voting history. Burr comes off as more likable and attractive. He smiled a lot and remained positive about NC's future. He stated more than once that NC's best days are ahead of us.

Irksome shifted his eyes a lot. I felt he was lying every time he did that. He wears old lady plastic frame glasses from the 80's and he has a VERY small mouth. Not an attractive man to watch or listen to. Of course, I may be a little biased : )

Hey, it just came to me where Irksome got his glasses.

Why they haven't given him an extreme makeover before running him again is beyond me.
