“I’ll get back to you on that”

I posted this last night upon returning from the Rochester (NH) 9/12 US Senate candidate debate (Republican) last night: …NOW, this was a Constitutionally based crowd – THEY came up with the questions and NOT the moderators.  They KNOW this stuff better than the candidates – even better than most lawyers.  All night long we …
