Did anyone else watch last night's debate between Tea Party darling Christine O'Donnell and Chris Coons live on CNN?
My observation: Like Tuesday night's final debate between Meg Whitman (R) and Jerry Brown (D) running for CA governor, the difference between the candidates comes down to this:
She vacillates between sound-bite attacks and trying to be likable (O'Donnell did a better job). She is accorded much latitude by the moderators.
He knows his stuff and has a clear message, but comes off as a bit cold, aloof and wonkish. You could tell both "hes" were trying hard not to slam the "hers" against the wall.
Here's an article about the Christine O'Donnell/Chris Coons debate.

Coons is a better choice than McDonnell on issues that are important to American women (and men).
I loved his answer about which Constitution does Christine O'Donnell uphold. He says he upholds the Constitution as it NOW STANDS -- which is the only correct answer.
And I respected what he said about being personally against abortion but protecting its legality, borrowing from (not sure whose) line that it should be safe, legal, and rare.

How can CNN and MSNBC twist the words and actions of Trump so easily?They even show a man behind Trump when he made the "second amendment" comment. The man was plainly laughing at the comment because it was meant as a joke.

Why is there a double standard between men and women that have lot of sex?When a men have sex with a lot of women people call him a champ, but when women have sex with a lot of men, people call her a slut (mostly by other women, men usually don't care). Why do you think that is the case?

I'm surprised no one has posted about this...but apparently there is a new edition of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn being released in Feb with all references to the "N" word removed. Are you or are you not in favor of fundamentally altering classic works in order to make them more...
