In response to Deacon’s inquiry

In response to Deacon’s inquiry regarding the Wellstone/Coleman debate on C-SPAN, I must report that my threshold for pain is too low for the viewing of these kinds of debates. I think I have a lot of company in this respect, though perhaps for other reasons. Yesterday evening I was at a fundraiser for Tim Pawlenty, the Minnesota Republican candidate for governor. After his prepared remarks, one of the first questions he took asked whether he would be debating his opponents. Tim said he had participated in 25 debates, but that no one watches them.
