I watched the Commander-In-Chief Forum last night. A lot of the news coverage this morning seemed to focus on what a bad job Matt Lauer did as moderator. Maybe they weren\u2019t watching the same forum that I was. I think \u201cbad\u201d pretty much described everyone\u2019s performance \u2014 except for the questions asked by the veterans. Too bad none of the answers were as good as the questions.<\/p>\n

Over the years I\u2019ve interviewed a few people to fill various positions. The fact is last night was part of a job interview \u2014 for kind of an important job, by the way. It occurred to me that if I was in a position to hire someone for the job (and I am, along with all the rest of you) I wouldn\u2019t hire either one. November is still a ways off, and I still have an \u201copen\u201d mind and I\u2019ll be watching things more closely now in the home stretch\u2026 So maybe something will happen that I like \u2014 right now I\u2019m torn between writing in Ronald McDonald or Popeye.
