Rove v. Edwards? Heh.
Glancing at my countdown sidebar just now, I noticed the reference to a Karl Rove-John Edwards debate at the University at Buffalo on September 26. I had forgotten all about that. Sounded like a cool idea when it was announced. Obviously, that was well before Rielle-gate broke out into the open. Now, surely -- alas for UB -- it will be cancelled, right?
I checked, and at the moment, the UB Office of Special Events still touts this debate as the big kickoff of their "2008-2009 Distinguished Speakers Series." The Albany Times-Union says there's "no word yet" on whether the event will be cancelled.
Well, I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say that UB has a better chance of upsetting Missouri in football on September 20 than of actually seeing an Edwards-Rove debate the following Friday.
