First of all, thank you for all of the
wonderful work you did in helping us figure out how to respond to Ensign's claims in the first diary. Some of that went into a press release, and some we're holding onto for the next and last debate. (Or maybe I'm bluffing. Feel lucky, interloping Ensign campaign staffers? Welcome to DKos, by the way.)
You did such a good job that I am now going back to the well.
Our next debate will be Monday at 7 p.m. Pacific time. There will be 16 minutes or so of each candidate asking the other one questions. I want two things from you -- described over the jump.
I want to know:
(1) What questions should we ask him?
(2) What questions might he ask us?
For what it's worth, we've already drafted questions that we could ask. I'm really happy with them. But I know very well that some of you may come up with something even better. And while I've already drafted possible Ensign questions for us, I'm sure some of you can do that even better.
Now here's the catch: if you have a great question that we should ask him, DON'T POST IT HERE! Instead, send it to me at greg at carter for nevada dot com. (No embedded spaces there, and if you can't figure out how to translate that into a real e-mail address, you're probably not who we need to hear from.)
And if you have ANY questions you think he might ask us, DON'T POST THEM HERE EITHER! Send them to me at the above address! (Title your posts "Question for Ensign" or "Question from Ensign" along with your name or handle.)
Why the precaution? Look, I've seen these people in action now. You are collectively much smarter than they are. I don't want you giving them any good ideas. But, especially if you have Republican friends (or "friends") and relatives (or "relatives") and based on that you think that you can figure out the sort of things they'd ask, I'd love to know it.
So if I don't want you posting great questions for Ensign, or ANY questions from Ensign, what do I want you to comment on below? Please, you have to ask? This is Daily Kos! I want SNARK! As well as, of course, your additional observations, especially if you've seen (1) the second debate where Jack picked up Ensign, held him by his heels, and used his spiky hair like a mop all over the floor, or (2) any of the 21 Carter family members who are making their way all over Nevada today campaigning for Jack and the entire Democratic ticket.
And thanks again for all of your collective help.
