Lindsey Graham said "If I had been there last night--and I know the rules of the first debate precluded having a chart--I would have loved to have had a chart and asked Governor Bush to fill in the blanks. Since we do not have Governor Bush here but you are advocating the first phase of his plan, let me ask you about a few of the blanks on his chart. What would be your coverage for persons over 175 percent of poverty? What percentage of their prescription drug costs would you cover?" @ PoliticalQuotes.com
