  1. I really don’t understand why things like this shouldn’t be live nationally. ABC did the same with Paralympics. The West Australian or other states affected taxpayers has as much right to have live coverage as anyone else – especially when Foxtel is pretty much live for everything

  2. Biden vs Ryan should be interesting. Ryan is meant to be very clever, Biden is pigeonholed as ‘gaffe prone’. In theory Ryan should win most times, but it doesn’t always work out that way.

    Big pressure on Obama to perform better in the next 2 as well. The ‘town hall’ one will be interesting. Who will be the man for the people??
