Pre-Debate Foreplay-- who's watching which channel?

I'm on MSNBC but am about to start taking turns with Current and CNN. It's just so much fun seeing how excited Rachel Maddow is- she is just so deliciously enthusiastic! Makes me smile (and tonight, that's a welcome relief).

doesn't have the freakin wires hooked up to the focus groups. those things are annoying (the ongoing line graphs during the debate).

I went with PBS for the Veep debate. Since I'm slightly superstitious I'm going with PBS again. I actually haven't watched MSNBC at all since that post first debate meltdown.

Biden is the designated attack dog and also very free to dish up red meat for the Left. Obama has to tack to the center...while still coming off and strong, smart, decisive, etc etc.

I'm rooting for him with my whole heart, but I will understand if he doesn't put on a show like his running mate did. Biden could do it, and was so good--but I think Obama will do it a little differently.
