Governor Richardson and Friday's Show

Governor Bill Richardson was supposed to be my guest on yesterday's show, but he stood me up. After waiting 1-1/2 hours to tape the interview, and with much help from an Obama aide, Ebony Meeks, we finally threw in the towel. Sorry. I like the Governor, and was looking forward to his insights. (Sorry especially to RB.)

Friday, we have Chris Markowski, "The Watchdog of Wall Street" from 6:10 to 6:25. This guy is sharp, and he'll be getting into analysis on gas prices, candidates' gas plans, and abolishing 401k tax breaks. Check out his website at http://watchdogonwallstreet.com/tv.html

We also have Dr. Terry Madonna from Franklin and Marshall College who will be talking about the new Franklin and Marshall/Hearst-Argyle Presidential Poll. Find out more at http://www.fandm.edu/x2217.xml

Our 8-9 Call-In Hour will focus on "What changes you would like to see to future presidential campaigns and elections" plus "When it comes down to it in the simplest terms, what is this election really all about?"

Join us 6-9am on York's Morning News.

Just taking a stroll down Main Street

Hey, my tiny amount of free time has shriveled up like a salted slug. That's why you haven't seen much in the way of tech tips and my I-hate-everyone, curmudgeonly political posts and comments.

Once things settle down here (hah!), I plan to work with Gary to make changes to the site to make it a better home for Main Street. I'm looking at a forum format and Gary is interested in making himself available for live chats and even gatherings here at my restaurant.

Speaking of which, is there any interest in an Election Night gathering here? We can put election coverage on the big TV's here.

New poll: Election night hoe-down at WOW?

New poll: Wanna do an election night hoe-down at WOW?

See above post -- Gary and I are thinking of having an election night gathering at WOW. Any interest?

And no, I'm not sure what a "hoe-down" entails. I'm not up on the lingo kids use today, because I'm old. So very old.

Poll results: Who won the VP debate?

Poll results: Who won the VP debate?

Sen. Biden - 23%
Gov. Palin - 53%
Neither - 11%
There was a debate? - 11%

Did anyone win in Debate 3?

Joe the Plumber was probably the biggest winner with some great publicity for business. I thought the introduction of this guy put the conversation on a "Main Street" level that people could understand in concrete terms. Using this point, McCain finally stumbled into differentiating between "spreading out the wealth" by the government, and the individual keeping his own money and making choices as to where it will go himself. This is the ultimate difference between the two.

What did you hear in the last debate?
