		<description><![CDATA[I noted yesterday in a post on my blog entitled &#8220;The Morning After&#8221; that I believe Obama&#8217;s victory on Tuesday was as much a product of the public&#8217;s &#8220;Bush fatigue&#8221;as it was any ringing affirmation of the liberal policies that Obama will pursue as president. I argue this because Obama ran primarily as a centrist, coopting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not surprisingly, given Barack Obama’s meteoric rise in American politics–so fast that the people know little about him–John McCain has raised questions about the Democratic candidate’s character. But equally important, notwithstanding McCain’s far longer career, is the character of the Republican candidate. On that score, the issue is not simply one of Obama’s negatives but [...]]]></description>

Granted, this will likely be the smallest of the debate audiences, but it will still be substantial &#8212; 50 million plus I would guess.
