Anyone NOT watching tonight's debate?
I'll concede post WI when Hillary and her camp have gone negative and thrown out everything but the kitchen sink at Obama, I've turned the channel whenever I see HRC on in an effort to contain my anger. If Hillary manages to win OH and TX next week and continues on, seeing how much internal warring has been going on, I don't think the party can recover in time for November. Frankly, I expect a bunch of endorsements to come rolling in this week for Barack unless he really flubs tonight to get him over the top and end this thing next week for the good of the party.

2. I'm sitting here waiting for my kid to call to be picked up from her
meeting at the high school. I just know she'll call right when the debate gets going!

3. Nope, can't not watch this even though I really don't want to see her... But...
one needs both sides to follow what is going on.

4. I am definitely not watching.
I would rather read the "reviews" tomorrow. This whole mess has just stressed me out too much. I just want it over. I really like both of them for different reasons and I can not wait to get behind our nominee and kick some Republican butt. I think I will find an old rerun on the t.v. tonight and go to sleep.

11. Why? Watch how the men at MSNBC/NBC/Newsweek adore Obama and belittle Hillary's
hair, or makeup?

12. Not me. Can't take it. I get too "involved". I'd rather read about it later.
I have watched all of the earlier debates though. The fact that tonight may be "unattractive" is not appealing to me or my stress level.

16. No -- Brian Williams and Tim Russert drive me crazy.

Those two gasbags are guaranteed to ask ridiculous questions -- meaningless "gotcha" type questions or total stupid fluff. These "debates" are pretty worthless.

17. Not watching.
Working.

I'll catch the highlights later on, maybe watch the replay later if DU reviews say it's worthwhile. :)

I hate to say it, but watching Hillary these days irritates me almost as much as watching Bush.

18. No need.
There is nothing that either of them can feasibly say or do to change my mind at this point.

20. I'm switching back and forth between the debate and
"Biggest Loser" - sometimes I get confused about which channel I'm on.

21. Jericho comes on at 10 PM on CBS
and I just got home and decided to follow the DU threads on debate. They are far more entertaining, and they spare someone like me the pain of having to watch a campaign meltdown on national TV.

22. Nope, not watching but Rush is begging people to vote for HRC in OH/TX so that....
it will disrupt things even more.

FYI.

23. I'm on call for academic tutor duty tonight, so I can't. I'll catch the rerun. For now, the
debate threads here at DU are keeping me posted on what's going on in real time, more or less.

:thumbsup:
