Debate Updates and Predictions

by Don Pogreba on October 9, 2006

in Senator for Saginaw Chippewas

I’ll be offering live debate commentary this evening, and try to get up some YouTube by tomorrow for those of you who will be unable to watch it otherwise.

A few over/under numbers for the debate this evening:

  • Times Burns badly misrepresents the truth: 7
  • Times he can’t remember a key name or element of a talking point, and stammers aimlessly: 4
  • Times he says “Freedom First!” or a variant: 4
  • Times he asks “How many planes flew on September the 12th,” despite the ban on air travel that day: 1
  • Times he honestly and directly answers a question about Jack Abramoff: 0
