Who's watching the debate?

I don't care how hard the moderator tries, he's not going to get them to talk to each other.

Me. I call overuse of the words "main street' by both parties. And McCain keeps making so many references to the fact that he is old!

Re: Who's watching the debate?

I think whoever did Obama's make-up did a bad job!

Crapola, we're into the "keep the TV off to wind the boy down" phase of the night. Keep us updated! Looks like I can catch the last 30 minutes IF I get him down on time. Bah.

It's on at our house. Kinda boring so far.

ITA. This is the dullest presidential debate I've ever seen. I am not sure what I was expecting.

I have to give McCain credit for being awake, though. I mean, the guy has to be functioning on severe sleep deprivation after the past couple of days...

Yeh, nothing to exciting yet. We're kind of listening while we put together our babyproofed entertainment center.

Re: Who's watching the debate?

I am.

So far, I think they are both very interesting.

I don't like their ties....McCain's in particular looks like a candy cane...Obama's has this checker/red thing that bugs my eyes.

Re: Who's watching the debate?

There is significant rambling. I wish that the moderator would rein them in a bit more. It is so obvious when they hit on the talking points of the campaign. It's kind of like clumsy product placement.

Re: Who's watching the debate?

I'm listening because McCain's 'smile' was sending me over the edge. So, I've got Chris Cilizza's (the fix on the Post's website) feed, the livenation feed and the MSNBC fact checker going all at the same time.

I am cracking up on some of the commentary that are streaming in.

If nothing else, Americans are funny!

Is that what's scrolling across the bottom of the screen on CBS? My TV is fuzzy!

Re: Who's watching the debate?

Scrolling across the bottom of the screen is the audience's reactions minute to minute - pushing buttons I guess? :huh:

I do think whomever did Obama's makeup did a bad job. He shouldn't use that person again - he looks sickly.

I didn't notice their ties till I read this thread. Yeah - both are distracting and weird.

This is the dullest debate for me as well. Snore.

What annoyed me is that so few Americans approve of a bailout and the moderator acted like it was a forgone conclusion that the bailout was correct. Notice he didn't ask them "IF" they support a bailout. He just asked them what KIND of bailout they support. The audience reaction was almost nonexistent through that entire opening series of questions.

Re: Who's watching the debate?

I normally get really ramped up when these things come on, but tonight was kinda of a let down. I don't know what I was expecting tho! :huh:

One thing I know for sure is that I won't miss the VP debate. hehehehe He's going to CRUSH her. I can just feel it. It's going to be like those really bad highway accidents that you just help but look at.
