When I woke up this morning, I flipped on CNN as I got ready for work to find out about the condition of the Asian markets while I slept last night
However, instead the anchors were speaking about the third and final presidential debate tonight between Senators John McCain and Barack Obama.
In all of this week’s excitement of new proposals and plans to address the national economic crisis, the debate had actually slipped my mind.
Thus, I kept the TV tuned to CNN to hear analysis on what I should expect to see tonight.
But instead the next 20 minutes were spent explaining the requests made by each campaign in preparation for the main event.
It seems that both candidates have requested that they be placed directly below an air-conditioning vent to prevent sweating and the visualization of a 5 o’clock shadow – as was apparently evident during the 1960 debate on a dampened Richard Nixon as me matched wits with a one John F. Kennedy.
Furthermore, it appears both candidate have also asked for an exact replica of the glass that will house the water they will have in front of them tonight, so that they can practice holding, lifting, and placing said glass without potentially dropping it.
This constitutes debate analysis?
Oy vey.

Presentation is everything! I can understand the request. A lot goes into to successful ventures. Let’s give them a break and trust that they speak on the issues and concerns of Americans tonight.
