I'm going to pop in a DVD and skip the debates. Who's with me?
After all, the debate won't change who I'm voting for at this late date, so the only excuse I have for watching them is to get hot under the collar for no reason whatsoever. It does as much good as screaming at the TV during Monday night football.

Which movie should I pick? How about Flushed Away or maybe Ice Age II: The Meltdown. Either choice has to better than high blood pressure for no earthly reason.

2. Ice Age II's a cute movie.
But what I like to do is turn off the TV, and watch the reactions to the debates on the OFFICIAL DU threads. It's kind of like people watching, only a lot more people falling down.

I can't get enough of this shit... and besides, I'm waiting for that moment. After this weekend, and this being the last debate they'll have, the odds that moment will happen is high. :bounce:

7. I'll turn on the Weather Channel.
Snow is the only thing in Cleveland worth watching. It looked so pretty on TV during a Browns game.

Well last night. I'm not watching. We are getting our alarm system installed right now.

But I just want to plug this film.

Watched it last night and it's just fantastic.

23. too nervous to watch
I hate watching people mess up. I just have a feeling one of them will stick their foot in it. Hillary has to take greater risks...so the chances are that it could be her....

I am going to read the debate thread...then I can always watch the highlights.

I highly recommend it. Of course I'm going to have much more fun watching Hillary get flushed away tonight. }(

25. No need: read the first post-debate analysis...with a link...
WASHINGTON: Hillary Clinton suggested Barack Obama was not prepared to handle a global crisis in a debate last night that offered one of her last chances before next week's must-win primaries.

They faced off in a debate at Cleveland State University.

She portrayed Obama as a national security novice and said Americans can be assured she would not need a "foreign policy instruction manual" to keep the country safe.

She also compared him to President George W Bush. Former Democratic presidential candidate and superdelegate Chris Dodd yesterday endorsed Barack Obama.
