Who won the Presidential town hall debate? Wilkinson. Again. He’s 2–0 vs. all the candidates and the rest of the typing heads.

Here’s the healthcare section:

8:50 - Should health care be a commodity? YES. YES IT SHOULD BE, BECAUSE EVERYTHING THAT IS TREATED LIKE ONE IS GOOD, AND CHEAP. Obama: Moral imperative that we do something. Here’s my plan. I’ll make it cheaper for you. More free lunches. No insurance? You got it! McCain hates sick people, because his plan makes sense.

8:53 - McCain: Online records, improve efficiencies. Obama is all like “government this government that.” Obama will fine you if you don’t get insurance. I’ll give you tax credit you can take anywhere. Arizona might be better than Tennessee, Tennesseans. I need a hair transplant. We need choice, not mandates. Of course, of course.

So we need to make sure there’s no competition so that there is mediocre homogeneity.
