Huh?

Anheuser-Busch has been a sponsor of CPD debates going back to 1996. Please also show that being listed first means they are the #1 Sponsor as declared in the thread title.

I don't really think it matters- Palin is too stupid to be able to hold up in a debate and McCain comes off looking like Old Mr. Grumpy Pants. I'm just saying- people are going around claiming the debates are unfairly weighted toward Democrats. All I'm saying is you can make these arguments either way.
I do think companies that McCain obviously has strong ties to shouldn't be sponsoring a supposedly fair debate. It just looks bad and makes you wonder.
