Hi,

In a spot titled "Wills" which is spoken by Mr. Giuliani, a former New York mayor, he used this sentence. Is a comma to connect two clauses goof in this context? I have seen two commas connecting three clauses -- Is that correct?

The technology exists to do it, the people exist to do it.

This can be done in speech.  The spoken language is not subject to many of the restrictions of written composition.
