New Thing #47: Prime-time Debate

What with the scary $700 billion government bail-out, I wanted to see what the presidential candidates said about the financial crisis. So, I tuned in for the entire presidential debate at Ole Miss. 30 minutes were devoted to the financial crisis, 30 minutes were on foreign policy ( which is what the debate was supposed to be on but no one really cares because what's going on in our own country right now). My mom and I talked about it for hours that day and we watched Anderson Cooper's round-table analysis following the debate.
