debatable value

kennedy promised we'd land a man on the moon in 10 yrs. that was an engineering problem that could be solved by throwing money at it. energy independence is not a simple engineering problem. energy independence is total lifestyle restructuring for each & every citizen. the two cannot be compared.

doesn't matter what they promise anyway, does it, since there is not money there to spend. i want to hear how each candidate will change his plans based on the bailout, b/c the bailout is going to happen.

mccain said in the debate 700,000 jobs created by building 45 nuclear power plants by 2030. this is the very type of statement that begs questions of detail. for instance, will these be permanent jobs, or only be created during construction? there are always more questions, every time a statement is made.
