Don't you find it somewhat odd that the former vice president of the US refuses to debate except on the day before the election at 10 in the morning? He seems to be acting as though the sinecure of being senator from Minnesota is his by divine right; or is it that he appears old even for his age (74) with outdated ideas and a poor, weak presentation compared to Norm Coleman?

This is good but why is it not being reported elsewhere? If true, Bill and Hill are gonna be embarassed,,big time. That funerally planned and executed by the DNC and Bill and Hill may have just lost them the race. I hope this is true.

He has to debate in the morning because he's probably dozing off by 2:00 or 3:00 in the afternoon. But, in reality, I think he was trying to duck a debate but couldn't so he tried to do the next best thing and get some spin on it before the folks watch the evening news.

What's even more strange is that Mondull is not going to show at his own rally today. The DFL advertised in their flyer to meet your next senator Walter Mondale and when the people arrived, he was not on the speaker list. Only his wife and Wellstone's son. What a wuss Mondull is.

Don't you find it somewhat odd that the former vice president of the US refuses to debate . . .

Not really. Some of his handlers likely pointed out the average voter who is exposed to more than ten consecutive minutes of Mondale's whiny, reedy voice is more apt to vote for fingernails--anyone's fingernails--across a blackboard, than they are for Mondale.

Mondale is debating when the audience will be mainly retired people who don't work on Monday morning. Most people will only get to see it on the evening news in pieces.
