Senators Obama and McCain may finally have taken the gloves off last night in the final of their three Presidential debates, but here in Our Nation's Capital on Saturday, the tone will take a turn for the civil, at least for a couple of hours. From 2 to 4 p.m., an unknown number of hunters and, like, hunteds will play a most dangerous game of cat and mouse in a web of intrigue where there can be only one victor and everything will change in the blink of an eye.
