GREENCASTLE -- Two heavyweights on the national political scene -- Howard Dean, who recently completed a four-year term as chairman of the Democratic National Committee, and Karl Rove, the former chief political adviser to President George W. Bush -- are coming to DePauw University on Sept. 11. In a Timothy and Sharon Ubben Lecture, the two men will engage in a debate on "America in 2009: Challenges and Opportunities." The program will take place at 7:30 p.m. in Kresge Auditorium of the Green Center for the Performing Arts (605 S. College Avenue).

Like all Ubben Lectures, the program is free and open to all. Seating is general admission and no tickets are required.

I can't wait.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Howard Dean will ‘lose it’.

[halo66]

WOW! This will be grand!

[lakertaker]

Two big government advocates fighting over how fast and big to grow the government.
The only difference is Dean will for sure say something loony. That would be the only reason I would tune in

[xcamel]

Godzilla vs Bambi

[gimme1ibertee]

Wow...talk about your battle of wits with an unarmed person!!!
Rove will mop the floor with him...absolutely.
(Unless,of course,Dean lets out one of his ear-splitting girly-screams and momentarily disorients Rove....LOL)

[ohioWfan]

Brilliance vs. idiocy.

This should be really, really good!

[COBOL2Java]

Let me guess. Rove will need a ton of security protection, will get screamed at (by the audience), and various nefarious technical problems will occur with his mike. Howie will be treated like a rock star.

[shankbear]

Dean had better bring a big hat because Rove will hand him his ass in it. The Screacher is ill-tempered and undisciplined and will crack up.

[Recovering Hermit]

Howard Dean: “Fetch me my brown trousers!”

[Guenevere]

Why?

Rove, the 'architect', is a big government 'player' too....I have to mute him on Fox.

Personally, I wouldn't walk across the street to hear him.

I'm tired of being pandered to....
..& he's a master pander.

[Venturer]

I hope Dean brings his Mommy, because he will be crying for her before this debate is over.

[ohioWfan]

You're muting a really fine, intelligent, thoughtful patriot.

Your loss.

[Guenevere]

Not really.

[Baynative]

How can this be? Who in their right mind would allow Howard Dean to embarrass himself like this?
I remember watching Howard Dean try to state his positions in the democrat primary debate when he ran for POTUS - he sounded like a male version of Cindy Sheehan and had absolutely NO concept of economics.

[BGHater]

Lol.

Dean and Rove have much in common.

OBL, La Raza, Big Gov’t, etc.

[Hoosier Catholic Momma]

Depauw is in Greencastle, Indiana, a conservative area. It’s about 20 minutes or so from my parents. I’d be shocked if it went down the way you put it, but I could be wrong...

[wiggen]

Howard Dean won’t let Rove get a word in. Every time hes on T.V he runs right over everyone else. One rude bastard.

[Uncle Ike]

” will get screamed at (by the audience), and various nefarious technical problems will occur with his mike. “

You forgot the prospect of a ‘neutral, fair&balanced’ moderator, who will allow Dean to talk-over Rove (any bets Rove will finish a sentence all evening?), and, in a pinch, jump in to bail Dean out when he’s being overmatched....

[chuck_the_tv_out]

This is going to be FUN!

[donna]

Frick debates Frack!

[incredulous joe]

Has Rove ever been involved in a debate before??

[eeevil conservative]

glad to see a the debate...but I can’t help but wanting to keep 9/11 a sacred day...one for American unity...not that the commies, socialists, fascists and marxists want it...but I do...

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

I remember him debating Carville.

[eCSMaster]

Just a few small questions:

Will this debate have a Moderator?

What “Mainstream” News organization will this Moderator be from?

Where will the questions and topics come from? Will they have to be submitted in advance or can the debaters go at it free-form?

[This_far]

Howard Dean is a heavy weight in the room reserved for those that wear jackets where the sleeves cross in the front.

(and to think about this guy having a medical license...)

[Military family member]

The Moderator will be a University professor, I would guess.

[ScottinVA]

Howard Dean: “Fetch me my brown trousers!”

(From "Old Red Doublet") Fetch me old brown trousers, bring 'em to me now, I'll wear them in the riggin' as they fire across the bow! Fetch me old brown trousers, I fear we may be hit, Boys, even if they sink me down, they'll never see me s**t!!

[freekitty]

Bring ear plugs and protective clothing. Dean will implode.

[tina07]

Dean? A heavyweight? haaaaaaahaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaa!

[kabar]

Who will be debating for the Reps?

[wordsofearnest]

There is nothing conservative about Depauw however.

[manc]

Rove smart and knows what is what

Dean the typical braindead left loon who loves to rant knows no facts and is way out of mainstream America

yep Rove will crush him

[MNJohnnie]

Talk about pitting a chihuahua against a rottweiler!

[longtermmemmory]

Dean has REPEATEDLY said words to the effect of “not yet ready for single payer.” IOW: EVENTUALLY they will have single payer.

is this going to be broadcast.

[ohioWfan]

I guess if you want to dismiss intelligent analysis, it's not a loss for you.

Your choice. Rove's a good man with a good mind.

[ohioWfan]

So many lamebrain assumptions in that post. And in only two lines.

Remarkable.

[ohioWfan]

Dean and Rove have OBL in common? Please explain. Was that sarcasm?

[BGHater]

-OBL-

not osama, Open Border Lover

[ohioWfan]

Oh, OK.

Still doesn't make sense. Saying Rove and Dean are the same is kinda..........stupid.

But if that's how you feel, trying to reason with you won't make a whole lot of difference, I guess.

[BGHater]

I ‘feel’ many things. One is Rove was a traitor, and second that you would always support a ‘R’. But, that’s just a ‘feeling’ I have.

[ohioWfan]

Well, I'm certainly glad that you "feel" Rove is a "traitor." That allows for such intelligent debate. /sarc.

As for my always supporting an "R" - you're about as right there as you are about Rove.

So I guess you're batting .000

Always nice to chat with Haters. You guys always make SO much sense. Don't let that old brain start working again, OK? You'll get confused.

[BGHater]

Have a good day, ohioWfan.

[ohioWfan]

Actually, I'm having a great day.

And I can't wait for this debate between two people who are polar opposites intellectually, morally, ethically, and politically.

Hope you enjoy it too. :)

[RichInOC]

The Magnificent Bastard...rides again!

[Guenevere]

Why don't you leave it alone, OWF....

You have your preferences, I have mine.

I don't appreciate your jabs & would appreciate if you didn't post to me...thanks

[ohioWfan]

Forgive me, Guenevere.

I thought this was a discussion forum. I didn't realize I wasn't allowed to disagree with you.

(Didn't we used to be FRiends? Funny..........I haven't changed).

I'll leave you alone. No more "jabs." (?)

[Guenevere]

The tone of your posts to me or anyone else who disagrees with you ....isn't friendly.

I'll leave it at that...
