Interesting tidbit about Obama's pre-debate prep/approach:
"Advisers say that as the debate nears, Obama gets a sense of calm, turns off his cell phone three hours ahead of time and just focuses."

(I'd be throwing up.)

2. LOL....I would be too nervous to get on stage. I have major stagefright.
I guess you can't be a politician and be afraid of speaking in front of people.

3. I'm almost too nervous to watch it
I get that way before every debate and don't relax until it's over.

5. Ha! I know EXACTLY what you mean!
My mother used to have to leave the room when we were watching the Seattle (Super)Sonics playing basketball., She would be an absolute wreck.

7. I am the same way!
I won't be watching tonight... not because I don't care, but rather because I care too much, lol.

But believe me, I'll be eating up every detail all of you braver souls throw out:)

10. It only makes sense. He's obviously a man who knows how to center himself.
It took a VERY long time for me get into Obama -- but once I started paying closer attention to him, I realized I was watching a martial arts master.

He draws from his inner core, he radiates chi from his tan tin. It's beautiful to behold.
