The Green Miles is awake early and getting hopped up on Starbucks Organic Sumatra-Peru coffee, preparing to live blog this:
Gov. Timothy M. Kaine (D) and former governor and senator George Allen (R) will represent the two presidential candidates in a debate about energy and the environment [Wednesday] morning in Northern Virginia. [...]

The debate, sponsored by the Dulles Regional Chamber of Commerce, will be held at the Washington Dulles Airport Marriott. The debate begins at 8 a.m. and will be moderated by Norah O'Donnell, MSNBC chief Washington correspondent.  

"Energy and the environment are going to be huge issues facing the next president," said Peter Ryus, chairman of the chamber's environmental committee. "Virginia is an important setting for this debate because of its swing electoral votes, its demographics and its strategic proximity to Washington."
And of course the event is sponsored by ... wait for it ...

Almost time to hit the road, but live blogging should begin just before 8am.

Ask George Allen (Lowell - 10/15/2008 7:15:29 AM)
how calling his (former) constituent a "macaca" helps solve our energy and environmental challenges.  Ha.  


Or (KathyinBlacksburg - 10/15/2008 7:34:35 AM)
ask him how his singing and costumed civil war reenactment (best YouTube video of 2006, imho) means he's mentally engaged in the 21st Century.
