People don't seem jazzed, or nervous, or anything, compared to the last two. I'm not judging if you feel this way. I do too, but I can't quite figure out why.

(20,600 posts)not sure this debate will matter much or if many people will be tuning in to watch it. It is after all the third one.

(14,255 posts)But since there is nothing either man could say that would get me to vote GOP, I am not interested in the substance,
just the amount of bullshit and lies that Romney will spew.
And there is always the hope that he will go ballistic on national TV.
So - I will just follow the comments here, and I am glad this is the last debate.

(9,330 posts)But I'd rather watch the Lions/Bears game.
I don't have any kind of emotion about tonight. I was fired up last week before the debate. I just hope Obama is still in fightin' mood like last week.

(6,271 posts)Could be wrong. Tune in and see.
*Not going to be wrong actually.

(22,165 posts)...but I may be the only person in Metro Detroit not watching the Lions on Monday night football (OK, its an exaggeration but....)
This is holding true among my political junkie friends

(25 posts)I can't speak for anyone else, but I feel like I've just about hit saturation point...and of course I voted today so I'm feeling like I've completed my part of sealing the deal--even though I live deep dark red Texas...Politics is all local for me more or less.
And...The debate is competing with a football game and a baseball play off....I'm not holding out for the mega numbers of viewers this go 'round.

(18,672 posts)He will do what he does best. And that other guy will do what he does worst. And the very soul of America is at stake - do we, as a collective want the asshole, or the good guy? That is the question.
Of course I'm one of the ones who has lost sleep and is getting an ulcer over this election...
tritsofme
(17,399 posts)I'm sure he would rather be watching as well.

(6,096 posts)Iraq, Iran, Libya, Afganastan, (sp) muslims, etc are or what they do...
Also the baseball game is on...that ought to take care of most of the men...
I also believe that everyone by now MUST HAVE MADE UP THEIR MIND...if not,
then I would worry a bit about their decision making processes...and don't even figure
they will go to the polls if they have to put themselves out.

DonRedwood
(4,359 posts)the most political of us were not planning on watching. one was going to a game, one was over it and I have a dinner engagement. I'll probably be coming on here when I get back just to see what I missed.
Ann gave mitt a dirty look!!

(25,415 posts)I love President Obama but the amount of stress this election has caused me....I really don't want to have to be nervous about another debate.
I will watch but hopefully nothing will go wrong for President Obama. He proved himself in the last debate so I feel less queasy about this one.

(7,641 posts)The people who are caught up in the faux Benghazi outrage have been against Obama since 2008. In terms of affecting how people vote, I don't think it's important. For most people, foreign policy doesn't touch their lives. A really meaningful debate would be about how much to slash military budgets...
Samantha
(9,314 posts)but I cannot hardly handle listening to Romney any longer. He literally almost makes me sick. However, I will watch because I know from the previous two that there will be a huge commentary afterwards, and I cannot take for granted listening to the commentary is an acceptable substitute to watching the debate itself. I need to form my own opinion. And so I am already tuned in. I hope everyone for their own personal benefit will do the same, barf bags handy.
