Wednesday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

Big debate tonight. It's on ABC starting at 8 p.m. (Eastern) We'll liveblog it. Hopefully, there won't be any more til the big ones with McCain in the fall.

Michelle Obama did an outstanding job on the Colbert Show last night. Quite an outstanding job.

And, speaking of McCain, he's still breaking the campaign finance laws. (Not that anyone in the traditional media, like CNN's Candy Crowley or the Washington Post's editorial board, would ever call him on it.) Reporters like being on John McCain's good side. After hearing more anecdotes about McCain's volatile temper from Cliff Schecter's book, I'm beginning to think they're secretly afraid of them.

What's going on in the real world?
