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.

Oh my god. He IS serious about telling Spain to screw off.
What a fscking nutjob. JFC!
It seems unusual to me that John McCain would bring up the subject of subcommittee hearings attendance, when he has missed all but one vote in the Senate since March of this year.
“I don’t have a seal yet.” I’ll bet he’s been waiting to use that line.
Q7: How do you see the relationship with Russia?
It takes a special kind of person to write an entire country off.
Poor McCain … he must not know we now have diplomatic relations with Libya … and the guy who Reagan attacked, .. does he remember it was Revolutionary Leader Gaddafi who was responsible for starting the use of planes as a tactic of terror
Twitter is over capacity. Guess too many folks are sending tweets to CurrentTV.
And when we attacked Iraq, Gaddafi got real friendly.
Okay, I am getting more and more stunned.
Anybody else thought about the fact that Obama is basically a translator for McCain’s crazy notions and ideas for the future?
I hear, “blah blah my friends…”, and then I hear Obama talking in clear, understandable sentences. Educated. Curious. Wants to know. Genuinely responding.
One letter in each of Putin’s eyes?
Putin wears KGB contacts? Who knew? And how close do you have to be to see those tiny little letters, anyway?
oooo a ” K a G and a B” … look for that in an ad coming to your TV soon
McCain has now refuted the stated position of his boss, George W. Bush. Putin was a ‘great guy, looked in his eyes, into his soul’ and all that crap.
Is he lying now, or was he lying then?
Wasn’t the KGB disbanded?
The Kuril Islands are still in dispute, too.
