Just to build the suspense, we’ll ask which participant in tonight’s 7-way gubernatorial debate will be the first to say:

“This campaign should be about spending not Speed-os.”

“Who can best fix the dysfunction in Albany…”

“Good thing we’ll be done before the Yankees game.”

Which of the major party candidates will be the first to say:

“There is a clear choice between the major party candidates.”

Which of the five minor-party candidates will be the first to say:

“The major parties don’t offer a choice.”

“I am the only candidate speaking for … Fill in the blank.”

Who in press punditry will be the first to say:

“There were no knockout blows.”
