He came out very specifically for increased infrastructure spending. Is that an empty promise designed to get him elected (cf: Bush re perscription drugs)? Or does he really believe that infrastructure is worth the investment?

My thoughts on the debate: Ariana nettled Busty as much as Arnold. Glad she was there as she made the show a lot more entertaining.

Busty was amazingly polite and calm. Harped more times than necessary on his "tough love" plan.

McClintock was well-prepared and smart. Seemed to tone down the conservative aspect (or maybe that's just my unfamiliarity with the guy).

Camejo was surprisingly well-prepared and smart.

Arnold was kind of sound-bitey and specificsless.
