David Rowe, operating with the benefit of being a dozen or so time zones away, comments on last night’s debate, in which five candidates vied for the title of Miss/Mister Congeniality, the main prize having been given away long since. Or perhaps he drew it earlier. Jen Rubin had it pegged several hours before it […]
