    Anyone plan on watching the debates tonight? I plan to, but will definitely be sipping on some wine.

    Wine is a good idea. Good thing FH is on call or we'd have to break out the horse tranquilizers.

      Absolutely! I can't wait to hear what either candidate has to say and how they come across (not that I haven't already decided who I am voting for!).

        I've been looking forward to the debates, but not nearly as much as DH. He's on call too, so he'll miss them, but we have that same tranquilizer prescription...just in case. I thought he was going to need a few when he found out he was on call. Too bad we don't have a Tivo or something. Now I'll have to pay really close attention and give him the play-by-play.

          I don't think it is will be much of a debate...it sounds to me like it will just be two candidates on the same stage answering questions (without being able to address the other candidate and their answers)....

          I have been DYING to see it though and Alex's Kindergarten has parent night at 7pm. The debates start at 8pm so I'm hoping to be able to sneak out early and listen to it on npr on the way home!!!

          I'll need a tranquilizer too!

            I'm just watching to see if Kerry really is wearing that self-tanner on his face!

              I have to say I'm very pleased with how the debates turned out!

                I enjoyed the debates as well. Despite the fairly restrictive format, I think that there was some good discussion about topics that haven't been adequately addressed thus far into the campaign season.

                  The Presidential Debate Drinking Game

                  *Democrats drink if Kerry:
                  Mentions Vietnam
                  Says "Bring it on"
                  Begins a sentence with "The truth is ..."
                  Brings up his Purple Hearts Mentions WMDs
                  Says "stronger at home" and/or "more respected in the world"

                  *Republicans drink if Bush:
                  Says "nuc-u-lar"
                  Refers to a "pre-9/11 mind-set"
                  Says "evildoer"
                  Squints Uses "Saddam" and "al Qaeda" in the same sentence
                  Talks about "turning the corner"

                  *Democrats drink twice if Kerry:
                  Rolls his eyes
                  Sighs
                  Invokes Bill Clinton

                  *Republicans drink twice if Bush:
                  Makes up a word
                  Says Saddam "tried to kill my daddy"
                  Invokes Reagan

                  **Everyone drinks if either candidate:
                  Uses the term "flip-flopped"
                  Says the other is bad for senior citizens
                  Mentions Bush's National Guard Service
                  Mentions the Swift Boat Veterans
                  Talks about "letting the terrorists win"

                  **Everyone drains the bottle if:
                  Kerry sweats off his fake tan or uses the word "lock-box"
                  Bush calls John Edwards "the Breck girl" or mentions "weapons of mass destruction-related program activities"

                  Cheers!
