avoid the news so I can watch it without spoilers. I hate it when I have to wait a day and a half to download games and then I see the score on the internet before I watch them.

they had livestreams of the conventions - I'm sure they'll do the same for the debates.
and if you get desperate, there's always radio. NPR always has them.

Always has a live stream of them. In 2008 I watched all the debates from my laptop on CNN's website.
