So, are you "prepared" for tonight's debate?
In this household of political junkies, a Presidential debate is like a college bowl game. We have beer, chips & homemade dip, popcorn, and some wings. We are both wearing our Obama '08 T-shirts & so are some neighbors who are coming over. It's safe to say we're ready to go and root for our team.

Does anyone else take it this far?

The "bowl game" analogy is spot on. I feel like I'm waiting for kickoff.

13. You should have watched the debate together as a date.
You can watch his reactions during the debate and see if he's a keeper. ;)

17. Yep
I bought some wine and the woman ahead of me told the clerk, "This is my debate wine." I swear! It's definitely Super Bowl in vibe.

19. Every presidential election year, it's a big BIG deal in this house.
The Chinese food is set out, the drinks are made, the teenager has decided to watch TV in the other room, warnings have been given about interrupting while the debate is on, and I've got my laptop ready (I type up notes and observations so I'll remember later).

WHOOOOOOOO. Bring it!
