[lbo-talk] Friday night football

[Dennis Claxton]

Shag posted something the other day about McCain needing bigger 
numbers in rural America, one of his bases.  it appears that the 
elite liberal media have slickered McCain by scheduling the debate on

McCain's campaign will have to counter by making sure the 
vice-presidential debate is also on Friday night.

integration of economic activity in rural places. The challenge is to 
overcome the Friday night football rivalries that separate 
communities and keep them from working together.
