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.

Basically, it was renamed, like so many other paint jobs.
Republicans don’t have party bosses, Mark.
Yes and no, Vivian. Yes, but many were re-hired into the Russian state police.
KGB was disbanded in 1995
Maybe he saw something else in Putin’s eyes.
Not to mention the Russian Mafia
I see, and no one is calling Iran any names or threatening the livelihood of the people there. Riiiight.
Does he honestly think, after seeing the mess in Iraq, the Iranians are going to start waving their arms and say, “Oh us! oh us! Pick us to save! At whatever cost.”
Again, Obama is right. Ahmadinejad as a president has nowhere the power the President of the US or even the Prime Minister of a European country has–he is a mere figurehead (one who loves the sound of his voice a bit too much). The real power players in Iran are never ever mentioned by anyone, and I would bet the majority of politicians don’t even know those names.
(For what it’s worth, all those power players were educated in the best schools and colleges in our good ally Britain’s schools…)
An acid flashback? 😉
Q8: What is the likelihood of another 9/11-type attack on the US?
Can we secure the borders, Sen. McCain?
Obama’s getting comfortable … taking charge while dealing with 2 Republicans
Shorter McCain: I’m not Bush
McCain has never been a Bush clone.
We should spend more on nuclear proliferation?
We tried the “it must be proven before deployed” theory. Nothing ever got deployed. Now, we are deploying the systems we can, and we are improving them all the time.
How many times has McCain said “Sen. Obama doesn’t understand”? Does a difference of opinion constitute lack of understanding?
It’s not the job of the federal government to buy people health care.
