VICE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE: FROM A MINNESOTANS POINT OF VIEW

 Okay - I grew up in Minneapolis, MN ... I lived there until I was 25 years old (then I moved to St. Paul, so not too far) ...

I grew up by the U of M-Twin Cities (main) campus ... my high school, Marshall-University, was about 2-3 blocks from there as well (depending on whether yu count the block the school took up or not)

We even had some of our classes at the U of M buildings - a clause put in when University High and John Marshall High merged in the 60s .... my brother actually had 2 different class rings because he had gone to both University High and Marshall-University after the merger ... anyhow - part of the deal with the U of M was that Pike Hall AND Pike Gym would continue to be considered part of the Marshall-U "campus" until such time as the building fell off their foundations ...

basically ... and they never did

Well - this is gong to take me off course ... so back to the debate ...

If you didn't see it - I highly recommend you go to YouTube and see if you can find a full length, unclipped version of it ...

it's going to be tough ... but I'm pretty sure they are out there ...

DO NOT listen to a commentary on what happened ... they will be too biased one way or the other ...

That's why I say get the FULL length version -- it should be a little over 90 minutes long ... they ran over ... 

Here is a clip of a LOCAL newsman .... he still writes for a newspaper, so yes, he's still a "newsman" in my mind ... and his take on Walz ...

I just love the way he describes Walz .... it is SO true, too!!!
