Okay Mitt. Go out and find 100 average, off the street Americans. Ask them if they watched any of those five debates that are so precious to you. I betcha $100, no more than ten watched. I'll betcha another $100 that a majority of them are unaware any debates have taken place. If I’m right, maybe Fred is on to something? Um, yeah, Thompson's on to something - the average American is overweight, hasn't read a book in the last year, and is generally clueless. There's also a pretty good chance they won't vote.
