Must-See TV

I watched Tuesday night's debate on CNN, which runs that silly, EKG-looking graphic across the bottom of the screen that tracks whether their focus group likes or dislikes what they're hearing at the moment. And I thought: What would REALLY make for a great TV debate coverage would be to hook both candidates to a polygraph and show THAT readout moving across the screen.

Speaking of which, if you don't already know about it, www.factcheck.org is a really good place to test the claims you hear in debates and campaign speeches. It's pretty even-handed.
