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.

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

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)

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.

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.

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.

[BGHater]

Lol.

Dean and Rove have much in common.

OBL, La Raza, Big Gov’t, etc.

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....

This is going to be FUN!
