With failing eyes he could still see his hospital bill immediately before him, figure leaning against figure, watching the final act. "Like Big Bird!" he said; it was as if the shame of it must outlive him.

Wait, are you saying you don't remember how the entire election was decided after the '08 VP debate?

There was no conceivable way that Sarah Palin was ever going to be VP, let alone Pres. Even if Ryan does not become VP, which is likely, there is a not insignificant chance of him running for pres somewhere down the line, and, at least given what little we have to work with now, winning (why the hell not? he's uncontested!). But if he tanks, he not only slows the Mittmentum, but handicaps himself when it comes to future national stage endeavors. So, yeah, there's more hinging on this one than usual, maybe not when it comes to the current race, but when it comes to the broader narrative.
In other words, there better be a drinking game. The one I'm playing is having a few drinks before the debate even starts. Everyone's a winner!

Alfred: Just curious--what does matter in determining this election? Tonight's debate doesn't matter, the Libyan embassy doesn't matter, this gaffe doesn't matter, that controversy doesn't matter, the media doesn't matter, the polls don't matter, etc. What does matter?
― clemenza, Thursday, 11 October 2012 23:59 (eleven years ago) link
What matters is how well the incumbent persuades the relatively small number of indies that their medical health and economic security are best left under his care. The rest keeps David Gregory employed.

Fair enough. At least I got you on the record.

A VP debate shouldn't mean anything but a tedious presidential debate with no major moments shouldn't have turned the race upside down.

so how much of the basic science from the Manhattan project is totally classified? How much of it was figured out by civilians afterwards? (Not expecting answers, just the question arises when Iran is refining uranium at the rate of 1 bomb per year, I guess it's hard to do.)
