Like many Americans, I’ve been following the progress of the 2008 US Presidential campaigns. I’m probably spending way too much time with the likes of CNBC’s Chris Matthews (”Hardball”) and Keith Olbermann (”Countdown With Keith Olbermann) on the TV most week nights. But it’s all just too enthralling for me to tear myself away.
I can’t really say why, since none of the candidates on either side of the great political divide interests me much at all.

But in recalling presidential debates from campaigns past, that might actually be an improvement entertainment-wise.
