• Not everyone was preoccupied with debate night and debate-aftermath week. Nancy Hanks at The Hankster leads a discussion in a conference on how to save the world. Frankly, I kind of like the world, and I'm pretty much for saving it. So I guess she gets a pass on Denver.

• With some pundits frustrated that Mitt Romney's 47 percent was not mentioned, not every conservative would have been disappointed if it had come up.
