The final 2008 Presidential debate is tonight. It will be hosted by CNN at 9pm. Will we finally hear tough questions asked of Obama? Will we hear McCain challenege the validity of Obama’s Tax Cuts and his “Welfare Sate?” Find out tonight! If you miss the debate you will be able to find it here …
Pat Buchanan made some interesting remarks on the decline of the Republican Party due to immigration. In an interview with Bill Steigerwald (October 9, 2008) he said: Q: Are we witnessing the end of the Republican Party’s 40-year cycle of power, as Chalmers Johnson says in The Nation? A: I’ve written that. I think what …
It’s a presidential election, not a tea party. You knew it would reach this point. It does every campaign cycle. As election day approaches, the campaigns make their arguments for their candidates and against the other one. That is the normal business cycle of a political campaign. Meanwhile, our sainted Old Media condemn such behavior …

AverageJoe is absolutely right–when will the Old Media grill Obama the way they do Palin? The answer is never.
