Was that the final debate?

Here is what Obama said on whether he will agree to participate in the April 27 debate in North Carolina: “You know, we had agreed earlier to a debate. Sen. Clinton declined that one. And now we are trying to figure out what our schedule looks like. I’ll be honest with you, we have now had 21. And look, I mean, on the previous three you know, we did very well, and so it’s not as if we don’t know how to do these things. I could deliver Sen. Clinton’s lines; she could, I’m sure, deliver mine. So what we’ve got to figure out is how we fit in campaigning actively both here in North Carolina and in Indiana. Because if we do it in North Carolina then the folks in Indiana will say, ‘What about us?’”
If Jim Lehrer will agree to moderate, another debate would be a good thing. Otherwise, I certainly don’t want to watch another rehashing of the Tuzla incident, Reverend Wright’s 3 out of context snippets, FLAG Pins or any of the other nonsense ABC thought might raise their ratings last night.
PBS also would not run commercials and after last evening, that would be a welcome relief.
We can only hope it was the last debate. America can endure only so much.
If I was Obama I would want to have this debate as he needs something to make up for his poor performance yesterday. Otherwise it will come off as he is more afraid to debate now than before as he does not want to answer the tough questions.

Although the Mac commercials are funny they tend to be full of BS. Like how it takes a IT guy to install a webcam on a PC and he does it with duct tape while the mac has it built in.
no but seriously, that whole string of Apple ads has gotten more deranged/retarded and pointless as time has progressed. They went from being a friendly way of saying we can work together to basically making crap up.
So this is the kind of stupid ***** that gets front-paged on digg? Wow.
Why does this seem similar to a YTMND that was released a few days ago?
man those apple ads are getting on my nerve, I am a Pc user at home and at work i use both MAC and PC. it doesn’t really matter what OS you use,, if you are creative in what you do, both can get you th end result and my clients never asked me.. oh this made in mac or Pc?? so who the heck cares?

I still use windows for compatibility, compatibility, compatibility:1) Powerful windows only DSP design tools (Yes, I could run these in some sort of VMware equivalent but why pay for 2 OSes)2) City of Heroes: My MMO of choice3) Web Multimedia,Until a few days ago adult swim fix wasn’t mac compatible, mtvU doesn’t even play nice with firefox, there are tons of sites that still require IE on Windows.There are tons of field specific windows only niche tools, like autocad, etc.Honestly though, If all my apps magically worked and I didn’t have to worry about dual booting or virtualization of 3rd party API implementations, I wouldn’t use windows, but I wouldn’t be using Macs either, I would be on Linux.
Come on you MacFanBoys start your crying.
Oh man, that picture made me laugh. Those mac commercials do get irritating after a while…
Some use a mac, some use a pc… whatever gets you through the long lonely workday and night. Press some letters on a keyboard, move and click a mouse. When you are done, get in bed and sleep. Tomorrow is another day.
bravo.
