Today’s MUST READ by the highly talented and perceptive Jerry Remmers, who like me has the San Diego Union as his newspaper alma mater…

Be sure to read it before tonight’s debate.

Its always interesting to count the number of times I've either heard or read that someone wants to "stick to the issues". In between this post and "The Plea for issues" post further down, 3 deal with polls, 5 deal with Bill Ayers or Mudslinging, a few deal with random topics, 1 of which deals with Constitutional amendments. I'm not knocking any posts here, I keep coming back and reading because I enjoy the give and take with everyone. It just seems that the juicy controversy of the day seems to get much more attention than the actual issues that affect us. Perhaps this is a better reflection of the type of election that this has turned into?

I agree with Mr. Remmers, cut the crap and go for the gold. I want to hear more specific talk about policy, issues, and plans. Screw all the attack stuff, we've heard enough already.
