OK, so some of us are not going out tonight to hang out and watch the debate. I’m just too tired to go through all of that. But I’ll be watching. And if you are hanging at home, feel free to join me 
The debate starts at 9pm EDT.
According to the AP:
The debate, expected to reach a huge viewing audience, was supposed to focus on foreign policy, a topic generally viewed as a McCain strength. But given the roiling economic situation, moderator Jim Lehrer of PBS indicated he wouldn’t be constrained by the boundaries the two campaigns negotiated months ago.
I suspect we’ll hear quite a bit about the economy tonight, with some foreign policy stuff thrown in for good measure. And from the above linked article, it appears that the campaigns are trying to downplay expectations.
We’ll find out soon enough.

There is something inherent about when he says that, Vivian. I mentioned above.
Wow, he just did it again. We should count up how many times.
Now we get to the crux of McCain’s argument: “I honestly don’t believe Sen. Obama has the experience and the judgment.”
And by “take care of them”, I mean send them off to die because I’m not man enough to admit mistakes or think things through.
You are acknowledging that Bush/McCain totally screwed up the veteran’s care?
POW POW POW.
Took 90 minutes to invoke the POW thing. Wonder if someone told him not to say anything about it.
It was screwed up long before Bush/McCain. If we were not spending so much on unconstitutional things, we might be able to afford those things we’re supposed to be doing.
I think the debate was pretty much what I expected. Nothing earth-shattering.
McSame tries to distance himself from the disaster that Republicans and Bush have wrought … “American blood and Treasure” I’d say have been costly to every American over the last 8 years
—- McSame makes it personal in the final mins. ??? — Reform, prosperity and peace … slogan
(this from a guy who picked a VP candidate like Palin???) …
Ideals and Values … Obama brings a broader strategic vision
Thanks, folks.
Watching the spin doctors on CSPAN. Both campaign managers think their candidate won. No surprise there.
OK, Mark, you found one.
No-one wins debates — you win elections.
Guess you rich liberals have cable.
Nope, I don’t have cable.
