Thursday Morning Open Thread

That GOP debate yesterday was both boring and a mess. Alan Keyes ruled.

The Democrats debate today in Iowa. Things are really heating up...really, really heating up. It's pathetic the fear so many Democrats have about what Republicans will do to our nominee. As we saw in 2004, the GOPers don't even need facts, they'll lie. Expect that. The key is to be preemptive, fight back hard and really play to win. So, yes, our nominee will be attacked. But, Democrats have to stop acting so afraid of that prospect. It will happen -- and this time, unlike Kerry's campaign, our nominee better deal with and punch back harder.

Okay, with that, what's new?
