"A debate has one purpose, one purpose only, and that is to facilitate the exchange of ideas directly between two candidates, and that's it."

I feel that this is my first year, that next year is an election year, that the third year is the mid point, and that the fourth year is the last chance I'll have to make a record since the last two years; I'll be a candidate again. Everything I do in those last two years will be posturing for the election. But right now I don't have to do that.
