Discussions on tonight's debate

Heritage; Cultural questions deserve debate  "The first presidential debate of the fall gave Americans good insight into the candidates' perspectives on domestic issues, including the economy, health care and the role of government. But we heard hardly anything about the effect of such policies on our culture. That's a serious omission."

That's why it's important to take stock of how Washington's policies are shaping the work ethic and the health of civil society.

"Did Obama make a deal with her? If she took the blame and if he wins, Joe Biden will step down as vice president and he’ll pick Hillary, setting her up as the logical choice for President in 2016."  Standing by her man once more?   
7 More Simple Things Mitt Should Say (but only if he wants to win)   "In a word, Mitt has momentum.  The beauty of momentum is - unless disturbed by an outside force - it builds.  So Mitt needs to first and foremost not be the force that disturbs his existing momentum.  Better yet, he needs to add to his momentum.  Continuing with the earlier theme of "keep It Simple Stupid" - KISS - here are 10 more things Mitt should do or say in his next debate performance."
