    The Democrats have their final pre-caucus debate, and it's just as dull as Wednesday's Republican dud. When Mike Huckabee tells Elizabeth Edwards a debate is boring, it's boring.

    Supposedly the candidates can't afford to dis the president. But will anybody deviate from Karl Rove's game plan of pandering to a tiny right-wing base and scaring the rest of us?
