Wow, what a difference a day makes. I wrote the column last night right after the debate. Today, I didn't have a chance until late afternoon to study the news of the day online. When I read about the MoveOn protester getting assaulted by what appears to be a Rand Paul staffer, and then watched the video of it, I was shocked. It's really an egregious act. After the woman was subdued and tackled, this great big dude comes and puts his foot right on her head and pushes down on it. It is a serious assault.

And it is making national news. Wow, who could have guessed? This could tip what is a very close race, and one that Conway may very well have shrugged off. Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!
