Are you going to watch the debate live? I always
have to wait and see what the DU reaction is before I actually watch the debate. I get so nervous for Barack that I just can't watch it live...Just wondering if there are others that will hang out on the boards and see the reaction before watching the debate.

3. My husband and I were just discussing this...
We're both too nervous.

I told him that I would "watch" it on DU. I'm just too nervous to watch it live.

I guess I'm a wimp!

4. I'm too nervous. I want to watch it but I'm can't stomach hearing McAilin.
I can't take hearing one more uncorrected lie.

5. Obama rocked, McCain lied (and said some stupid things)
There.

That's the DU reaction.

Now you can watch the debate live, if you want.

8. Obama will do great, don't believe the media that McCain is a good debator. we know he isn't!
I'm jumping in live!
no way could I not watch it raw.

I have my beer on the way and am jumping up and down in anticipation. my husband thinks I'm a bit nuts going all ga ga over the debates. specially being we aren't american. lol. I now kinda understand how sports people get all excited for big games.

13. I think I will be with you.
I am too nervous, and besides my husband doesn't want to see McCain's face on our TV. So he will probably watch something else. If it's baseball, I'll join him but I'll certainly check in here often.

15. The same reason I get nervous whenever my oldest son has a TKD tournament or
when my middle son has a soccer game. I believe in Barack. I know he is the best for this country. I want him to do his absolute best so he can convince those that are still on the fence that he can improve this country if they give him the opportunity.

20. I'm going to sedate myself with Guiness before the debate.
I want to be able to watch it without flinching and turning the channel. I'm sure Barack will do fine. He's had a lot of time to think about tonight.

16. I can't watch any of this stuff, either. I read about it later, and I may view
a you tube video of the better parts. But I just can't watch. It makes me squirm and cringe too much.

18. I never miss it.
In 2004 I went downtown to watch with other DUers... but no one showed, so I watched with strangers.

19. I'm going to miss the first two...today's and next week's VP debate.
Edited on Fri Sep-26-08 05:37 PM by Scooter24
We're leaving here in about an hour for the airport to start our vacation.

However, I do have the TIVO set up and plan to watch both of them when I return on Oct. 6. Just in time to get caught up before the town hall meeting on the 7th.

Wishing everyone the best tonight. Positive thoughts to Obama!

23. Where can I watch it online?
...Preferably with no talking heads speaking over the debaters, like they do at conventions.

We are moving, and the Teevee isn't in the house tonight, so this is my only hope.
