The forecast says it won't, but looking out the window I'm not entirely convinced.

and very few little green and blue blobs behind it.

CA is an automatic Blue state, and neither is fighting for MO

and enjoy watching the Giants play ball! Go Giants!

Ridiculous and insulting statement.

The debate is show for the ill informed. It is great political theatre for those of us that feed on it. But seriously a well informed American has no need to watch any of these debates. The campaign is over a year old at this point. I got class tonight so I'll miss all three games tonight, but I am not pretending the debate isn't just another game...

That a problem? If I'm already voting for Obama, why do I need to watch?

God, I am *so* fucking stupid for liking baseball and football.

Good thing I have TiVo, so I can tape the football game tonight and masturbate to it after I write my debate review article.

Pretty full night, actually.

Some of us have not already decided but have already voted. Nothing that happens tonight will change most minds so get your head out of your hindquarters.

sports is spoonfed 24/7 from cradle to grave by our media.

Majority of Americans hate politics.

The only people legitimately worried or nervous about this election are political/news junkies. Most Americans don't think it makes a difference who wins. Only 57% of the voting-age population voted in 2008. That means more than 100 million Americans that were eligible to vote did not cast any ballot.

and the fucking football game doesn't.

Does that also offend you?

But in your honor, I'll toggle between the football game and the baseball game.

I'll even come by and give you some fucking updates. How's that?

Perhaps they don't have tivo or DVR's where you're from.

Clips (and the analysis and the spin) will be shown incessantly for the next several days. About the only thing folks might miss is the nuances and the overall "feel."

However, it will be fun to watch him tear Romney a new hole.

our political system is the NFL with ties on.

Maybe Kontos, but I know how DU feels about third parties.

Giants and Debate!

on every major holiday, so exceptions here. Do most people have more than one tv in their house (I only have one)? I suspect if someone wants to watch the debate, there are enough venues to make it possible (radio, internets, tv in bedroom)

I'll switch over to the debate during commercial breaks and catch the highlights later on DU. I've already decided who I'm voting for.

Isn't that why all the M$M talking heads like Tweety, Gregory, and Todd sound more like carnival barkers that legitimate news men?

Isn't this all really about driving those advertising rates through the ceiling?

We'll all be going to that to cheer on our HS team.

My 10 y.o. daughter knows all the HS girls from VB camp this summer, and our next-door neighbor is a starter.

Go Blue!

Besides, I'm sure Obama will kick Mitt's ass on foreign policy!

That category is reality TV.

I don't enjoy watching reality TV. I makes me uncomfortable.

If for some reason I care about the outcome, I can read about it the next day.

Consider what percentage of the population is still undecided and what percentage of the undecided will care enough to watch. By far the audience for this debate is going to be people that are already committed to a candidate.

I will be watching the preseason blazers game at 7:00 pm .then i will catch the debat the second showing on msnbc.Go blazers!!!

Nah. Those who are going to watch the debates will watch. Those who won't ... don't care.

Bake

I just don't need to watch it live.
