Just did a google image search. Yeah I had it. This was a great book and trip down memory lane!

Grover is the fucking truth, man. I near on lost my shit when Elmo appeared on the scene and took all Grover's glory (and his voice!).

yeah that was a dark time.

Elmo was a bit after my time, but yes.

Elmo first appeared in 1980 when I was 9. He became more regular later on though (85?) but I'll never forget the sense of betrayal I felt for Grover.

Tonight's debate seems like the most important vp debate in a long time. I had to look up Dole's runningmate.

Spoiler: show

Pence/Kaine
Biden/Ryan
Biden/Palin
Cheney/Edwards
Cheney/Lieberman
Gore/Kemp
Gore/Quayle

It always seems like the most important of all time. We probably won't remember Pence in 10 years.

I'm crossing my fingers for the opposite.

I think it's obvious how I'd like it to go, but Pence did well against Kaine. His work tonight could sway some people.

I look forward to hearing the Head of the Coronavirus task force explain his opposition to Plexiglas shields.

Will people really change their vote based on a vice president debate? Is that a thing?

Maybe if he fucks up some COVID questions.

Might be a "when", not an "if".

Pence seems like a smart guy and I would trust him to do no harm and maybe goad Harris a bit. Harris will likely point her aim at the administration more generally, and keep making about the Trump missteps. This will likely be professional debaters who never fully address one another directly. A different kind of maddening from last week.

I could see him doing what he's always been there to do:

Providing an aura of legitimacy to the WH with those that can't bring themselves to fully agree to voting for Biden/Harris. She probably has the easier task (point out how bad things are), but I think I read it's been 10 years since she had a one on one debate.

It doesn't matter. Please don't make me watch it

Without the entertainment value of Trump's insane behavior or the tension of hoping Biden is able to finish each sentence without having a stroke this debate really has nothing to offer at all.
