2. I am in Salem Oregon
I am not tempted to watch in the least! From what I read here I suspect that this will end up helping Obama bigtime. Maybe some papers will actually lead with the GOTCHA debate. How great would that be? Gonna blow up in their faces. Was supposed to be a debate and clearly was nothing of the kind it appears.

3. Whoa. Hold on there.
I thought this debate was an absolute travesty too, but the people need to see for themselves WHY this is a problem. We need to encourage free thought. The more we see, the more we read, the more we learn - however bad or good, can only help us to better overcome that which is holding us down.

I guarantee you the outrage generated by viewing it will outweigh the SLIGHT dip in ratings by a few DU viewers skipping it.

11. I hope west coasters watch... they are sure to get angry no matter who they support.
Maybe not the whole thing, but at least the first... oh... 45 minutes or so.

See what poses as your "media" these days. And then get angry.

And then let ABC know your thoughts on what you watched.
