I hope both candidates, for the sake of all of us, bring a solid game tonight.
I hope we hear solutions and not false promises.
I hope we hear direct answers and not politic speak.
I hope they don't mud sling.
I hope they highlight differences in a kind manner.
I hope they are genuine and sincere (tough to tell on this one).
I hope the American public regardless of party listens to both sides.
I hope the American public has an open mind.
I hope the American public makes their decision in November on what candidates say and not the media...
Good luck tonight to both...But Jed Bartlett would still womp your arses!!!!

"WWJBD"
Let me first start off by saying that I'm not an economist so I don't know the "ins" and "outs" of this $150 Billion Stimulus Package. What I am, is a West Wing freak that knows that something like this was tried before and it didn't work. Let's go back to season 3 of West Wing and the episode called Stirred. If you don't remember, I highly recommend you stop what you're doing and buy the entire season and watch just this episode. For those of you who find that stupid, I'll fill you in. Besides for the stuff going on with the VP and the Uranium rod nuclear issue, Charlie is filing his tax return online. After a little help from the Man Himself (Jed B), he finds out that he has to pay taxes although he makes $36k a year and gives to charity. He was perplexed at why this happened until Jed enlightened him. Here's where the Govt' needs to takes note. Jed explained to Charlie in the prior year the Govt' issued a tax rebate and the idea behind it was to stimulate the economy. Sound familiar? Well, Jed goes on and explains that it didn't work...Catch that...Because people like Charlie either put it towards credit cards or save it. I mean seriously, it's been tried...It didn't work. I don't mind the check. I'll stimulate the economy by using some of it to pay for my honeymoon but come on now guys...Bush, Bernake, Pelosi, Paulson, and the rest of Govt'...Ask yourself..."What Would Jed Bartlett Do?"
