The Debates, Round Three (And TV Season News)

The third debate between George W. Bush and John Kerry takes place tonight from Tempe, Arizona. As this debate focuses on domestic policy, this is Kerry's best chance to close the sale. It's also another chance for Bush to list three mistakes he's made in office (yeah, right!).
Meanwhile. . . . We're into the fourth week of the new television season, and the sixth season of "The West Wing" still hasn't begun yet! Maybe the producers don't want to inadvertently influence the election through tapping the headlines for stories (which "Law & Order" is known for). Maybe they just want to keep its faithful viewers - assuming there are any left besides me - in suspense a little while longer. But between special programming and, now, the third presidential debate, NBC doesn't look like it's in any hurry to start "The West Wing"'s new season any time soon. :-(
