Ole Miss for the debates? (McCain, Alabama, high school, kids)

[ZGACK]

Why do they choose a University of such poor academic standing for the debates? I mean Ole Miss? It's almost as much of a joke as UGA!

It's fantastic that the place where the first Afro-American student to an all white University was escorted into the University by the National Guard is being used for the debate by possibly the first Afro-American President.

Looks like it is in pretty good standing, ranks 30th in the country.

Alma mater of McCain's grandfather.

30th in the country? According to who? My college is ranked 31st and when I applied, UGA was the safety of my safety school. The kids at my high school who didn't have a shot at getting into UGA or Alabama went to Ole Miss.

What difference does it make. There are 4 more debates.
