Not sure what else to say, except let's focus on the immediate things that matter:
- Monday is National Voter Registration Day - VOTE VOTE VOTE!
- Wednesday October 7th the VP Presidential Debate is still scheduled as of this writing
- Make your voting plan. Head over to
IWillVote.comand pair up BallotReady to be in the know of all things (e.g. retaining judges as we've seen JUSTICES HAVE INFLUENCE).
Lastly, no one is shocked by the fallout from Tuesday's Presidential debate, except ... Mr. Wallace:
"Mr. Wallace conceded that he had been slow to recognize that the president was not going to cease flouting the debate’s rules."
