BBQMan,

Actually, the reason I did not watch the debate of the Republicans in Iowa was that I did not have access to a television that night. My air conditioner quit working about 6 pm, the house got very hot quickly, and my wife and I spent the night with friends. They wanted to play cards. Since I was getting such a nice favor from them (staying at their house), I could not say I would rather watch television. I do like to hear all sides from all candidates.

On the plus side, I got a recommendation for an a/c repairman and he was to my house the next morning - found out I had a blown out capacitor - fixed it for $165 total cost.

A businessman for the Presidential slot and a VP with extensive foreign policy background might make for a very good ticket.

Whoever gets in office MUST be willing to negotiate and compromise when needed.
