Though the presidential debate is at 9p tonight, there’s yet another debate, one between Michele Catalano and Neal Pollack that’s worth reading, up at Blogcritics. Like most debates between people of fixed minds there is little in the way of a “conclusion” to this discussion, and I don’t mean the flooding in Michele’s office.

The conversation, though impassioned is not bitter,but I’m not surprised to see that both sides are arguing familiar points, that, frankly, make discussions like these seem like the participants are seeing past each other. Right now I think we on either side of this war have run out of ammo to convince each other what we believe to be right. However, there is a war going on, and it is prudent for those who oppose it to tread lightly: Neal Pollack is no traitor. Phillip Shenon, should the allegations raised against him be proven true, is one.
