Debate me, baby!

As most of the free world has heard on the 10pm news, NPR, the newspaper and countless (bad) blogs, tonight in Austin, Texas is going to be fantastic. It is the Democratic debate featuring Obama and Clinton. I tried to get a ticket; lord knows I paid everyone that would enter their email address in CNN's lottery system to get me in...but to no avail. I get to watch it on TV tonight with my kids and neighbor in a bad Mexican food joint down the street. At least the waiters know me and keep the margaritas coming.

I'm on the fence at this point on who to vote for. I've been told that Obama is a charismatic speaker, leader and stands for change but honestly, I don't get it. I've watched him talk, seen the crowds that gather for him and I just think....why? Can someone (not Sen. Kirk Watson) give me some real meat and potatoes reasons why this guy should be my man?

Hillary is another story. I almost feel like I know what she is about...and it isn’t good for people in my profession. But wouldn’t I rather have an enemy that I know, (and beat in the 90's)?

Either way, my nose will be pressed against the TV glass tonight listening to every word.

If you got a ticket for the debate and you're not going to use it...you know my number,
