For some reason I thought it would be 9:30 Central. If it is 7 I will definitely watch the whole thing.

I'll check in to DU afterwards, to find out that Bernie crushed Hillary and that Hillary destroyed Bernie...

I would normally say Christmas party.
But, in case any right wingers read this, I like when their heads explode.

...they know more, by now, than we know about the data story. How they act will be revealing. Also, it appears Bernie may attack Hillary as a terrorists' pal and blame her for terrorism. O'Malley may be thinking it's his turn, now, and attack one or both... Sad to see all this - hope there will be some toning down by the candidates.

at pub/music place that normally has bands on Saturday night. Probably will have one start late after. Owner gave place for free big Bernie supporter and is giving 10% off to anyone wearing Bernie stuff.

We went out to hear band and dance last night and waiting till lines are less to see Star Wars probably Tuesday.

The bulk of it tends to not matter as all that dominates afterward are the gotcha moments that supporters try to use to their own advantage. The actual issues rarely come into play.

Is it two hours? I'll probably watch the first hour and record the second since it's dinner time.

So I will hustle out and catch what I can.

Then, watch the hours of post-mortems, then, I'll watch the debate on the inter-tubes.

And up against all kinds of college football bowl games. Talk about dumb dumb dumb.
It's as though the DNC didn't want anyone to watch. Oh, gee...could that have been their motive?!?

But I will say, I think I have an idea where this poll is coming from, and if I'm right it's hilarious.

"See, all these already deeply politically invested people on DU still free to get online in the hours before the debate are planning on watching. How can you say the Saturday evening before Christmas isn't prime debate watching time and will lower ratings?"
