What the hell is Tory doing?
it was a machiavellian power play, i think, with kouvalis written all over it. by pulling out (and with soks and doug out, too) he could totally isolate chow. that would force her to respond and either pull out as well, or stand on stage alone. either way, he would be dictating the terms, forcing her hand, cheapening the debate, and so on.
seems like it might be backfiring on him - chow was quite content to turn it from a debate into a town hall, and she's strong in that format.
man, the books they're going to write about this whole thing some day. . .
