Both candidates are off the campaign trail today preparing for Sunday's vitally important debate.
Donald Trump is holding a town meeting tonight in the style of the debate for practice, and we can probably count on him to give a measurably better performance Sunday than in his first go-round with Hillary Clinton last week.
Meanwhile, the ratings for Tuesday's one and only vice presidential face-off was the lowest rated since Dick Cheney debated Joe Lieberman in a less-than-memorable event. I can't remember one moment of that one.
At least Tuesday's debate gave us a line that will go down in history as the most oddly comical of any ever delivered at such a high level. It came when Governor Mike Pence responded to Senator Tim Kaine, "You've whipped out that Mexican thing again."
The veep debate is out of the news cycle already as Hurricane Matthew bears down on Florida's main population centers.
Most of my family is there, including my 86-year-old mother, and buhlieve me, I've got a lot more than politics on my mind this morning.

If the hurricane doesn't interrupt it, we can expect a well-prepared Trump to hold his own only a bit longer than he did in the first debate. Hillary will still get under his skin, and this time Trump's meltdown could be monumental.
Perhaps it will come over a question on climate change--in which he still claims to not believe.
My thoughts and prayers are with you, South Florida. I hope tomorrow turns out to be a sunny day.
