Question on presidential debates

[D-Dave]

I think we've been referencing the movie Fight Club in which Brad Pitt explains the rules of the group as
"Rule #1: You do not talk about Fight Club; Rule #2: You DO NOT TALK about Fight Club;" etc.

Ah, thanks, I knew I should have seen that movie. :unsure:

but another little tidbit:
Is it realy true that the candidates are spending approximately $ 200 Million each on their campaign?
(if so, I am wondering why no candidate came up with the idea of reducing the campaign cost and instead giving a large chunk of the money to 9/11 victims and/or Iraq Vets?)
