His code name would be "Chafee."

At the Debate Watch Party we were all hanging on every word for the entire 2-1/2 hours. Four dozen eyes were glued to the screen the entire time. The only time anyone budged was during the breaks.

Disqualified himself twice with that one.

I must be living in an enclave of (relative) engagement over in this neck of the woods (not in Maine, but not all that far away in the same continuous band of forest). There seem to be at least a few sentient souls around here. But even the knuckledraggers are often up on the issues and are acquainted with the arguments. It always knocks me off guard when I run into some rough backwoodsman who is more up to date about some national or state issue than I am and has given it quite a bit more thought than I have. Keeps me humble.

Maybe it's all the moose up there in Jackman.

I don't know...wasn't he calling out Chafee to say to Clinton what he had been saying otherwise? Unlike the coward Pawlenty w/ Romney, Chafee did so. And "No" really was a good response from Clinton.

I wish I had a dick, just so I could tell Bobby Jindal to suck it.

WRONG! The Republicans are running for Fox News's Next Top Spokesmodel. I'm pretty sure they're going to do a swimsuit competition at the next debate.

No way I would have sat through three hours of a GOP debate if Trump hadn't been on that stage, and I'm sure at least ten million other people did the same thing. TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!

Republicans just lost the Asian vote too. Fuck, who do they NOT want to alienate?

I will join your commune, comrade. I'm sick of living amongst dipshits.

I was at a party with the Trumpster many years ago. He was busy trying to pick up models, and I'm pretty sure he left alone that night. Most people were ignoring him, and I would have felt bad for him if he didn't disgust me so much.

Also still waiting to find out what happened to that damn airplane (Bermuda Triangled?), and breathlessly waiting to see if Trump farts today.

I kept hoping he'd show up in the audience to heckle the democratic candidates, and then get his face punched by the audience (with VOTES).

Bernie was super classy about the emails. I had great admiration for a politician who put principles over politics. He's a good guy.
