Both swallowed the Neo con interpretation of the events in Georgia, reminding us that you don't get this far in government without the blessing of some kind of a puppetmaster, whether it be Brzezinski or Kissinger. Still Obama is much more attractive to me and more likely to create rather than destroy our America. People can make a much clearer choice as a result of this debate.
