Tonight is the first debate of G.O.P. White House contenders.  It will be on MSNBC at 8pm, so I for one will be TIVOing The Office and watching the candidates go at it in the Reagan Library (it’s hard to beat that setting).  If you aren’t near a TV, the debate will also be streaming online at Politico.com.  So, to prepare for the debate, allow me to suggest the following:


At Politco.com you can submit questions and check out candidate previews.


The New York Times ponders what the candidates will say about President Bush.


Chuck Todd ponders what it means to be a “conservative” nowadays.


Over at WSJ John Fund has an interesting article on “noncandidate candidates.”
