That's the question we ponder (Rob Long ponders it at a chi chi bar in Manhattan as you'll hear). The we chat about the debate with Ramesh Ponnuru and about Tim Kaine's weird position on abortion rights. Later, the Campaign Spot newsletter (and host of the Three Martini Lunch podcast) Jim Geraghty joins to discuss the N.F.L.'s sinking ratings and whether they have to do with the injection of politics into the game. Also, the state of the Presidential race, the fight for Congress, and courtesy of Ricochet member RushBabe49, our podcasters reveal their happiest memory. Spoiler alert: one isn't very happy.
