Story here.

Here's the best part of the article:

According to a ?60 Minutes? producer who requested anonymity, the debate may not go on as scheduled, but the news operation will continue. ?CBS News wouldn?t hire scabs per se,? he said, ?but if there was a strike they would call in middle management types, bureau chiefs and other network executives to write copy. A lot of them got their start as news writers, and God knows there are a lot of them sitting around doing nothing. The sad thing is, no one at home would probably know the difference.?

Hillary released a statement today saying she wouldn't cross the picket line to come to the debate, as have several of the other candidates.

If the writers strike causes politicians to shut up then it may not be a bad thing after all. :)

Can we take up a collection for the writers for the next 12 months?

Well CBS should just go off the air anyway after that Dan Rather fiasco that hurt Democrats.

My god, Dave actually makes an intelligent post. :thumbsup:
