You'd better be prepared to chow down if you open that can of worms.

I agree that "team r" needs to stop taking the bait. However, the national media - and the current administration - has been trying to find a way to NOT talk about the economy, unemployment, gas prices, etc. They know they can't win those arguments - so they set the bait with Stephanapolous (spelled wrong but oh well) on the whol "can a state ban contraception" question in the debates. Team R takes the bait and that is their own fault - but who set the trap, and why should be part of the discussion.
