Max,
Let me add my congrats and admiration for cooly wiping the floor with your opponent. I almost never watch McNeil Lehrer but happened to be watching (without having seen your notice) and had the pleasure of seeing you. Sitting with my Randian libertarian housemate, it was quite fun hearing him snort, then following up on your points to note what complete hypocrites the GOP are - railing against liberals discouraging marriage among poor women, then refusing to address the problem in the marriage tax debate. Even he was a bit stunned by the hypocrisy and was somewhat speechless - believe me a rare event :)
All hail the new media star.
