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.

Posted by MB | Friday, September 26, 2008, 10:36 pmTook 90 minutes to invoke the POW thing. Wonder if someone told him not to say anything about it.
Posted by vjp | Friday, September 26, 2008, 10:37 pmIt 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.
Posted by Anon E. Mouse | Friday, September 26, 2008, 10:38 pmI think the debate was pretty much what I expected. Nothing earth-shattering.
Posted by vjp | Friday, September 26, 2008, 10:40 pmMcSame 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

Posted by MB | Friday, September 26, 2008, 10:43 pmWatching the spin doctors on CSPAN. Both campaign managers think their candidate won. No surprise there.
Posted by vjp | Friday, September 26, 2008, 10:44 pmOK, Mark, you found one.
