Oh, this is going to be good, I can barely wait for September to get here ;)

Edited to add quote
Alvin Greene: ".... I'm looking forward to the general election and September debate, against my opponent, for one hour live on a major television channel."

1. I think it's gross; cnn clearly wants to take advantage of a man

who is not all there. So is this for comic relief, or so the cnn talking heads can have someone to point to and put down?

Why else would they devote an hour to these two particular candidates?

:puke:

6. He did not say the debate would be on CNN.
in the video Green says...

".... September debate, against my opponent, for one hour live, on a major television channel."

8. OK, sorry. I saw cnn briefly and thought they were promoting
it. I stand corrected, but my remarks apply to whatever channel would air this.

14. Don't be sorry
because you can bet your last dollar every cable outlet in America will broadcast it. There's no way they'll miss an opportunity to make Democrats look foolish. :evilfrown:

7. Because it sells
People are more interested in seeing this than most other Senate debates. I probably won't even watch my state debate, but I'm taking off work to see this one.

2. It should be a good debate, they both have the same IQ right?

3. Well, at least DeMint will get to see someone get his Waterloo
That will be painful to watch.

4. How will Greene get through an hour or for that matter how will the audience
get through it. Listening to Greene try to speak is painful.

9. This is Greene saying this, how do we know it's true? wouldn't some media outlet have published it?

10. Who knows. Greene may be a wolf in sheeps clothing, a frog that turns into a prince. The whole
thing could be a set-up to make a fool of DeMint. Oh shut up and allow me my fantasies please.

11. I'm thinking that maybe the REAL Greene will show up for the debate.
I keep thinking that maybe Alvin Greene is going to come on out during the debate a start talking intelligently. Maybe he is just putting on an act right now (part of his strategy) and he is going to surprise us!
Okay, probably NOT. But wouldn't that be something! LOL ;)
