What Network are you all watching for the debates?
I was thinking of CNN, but if Anderson Cooper is covering it, I might have to pass.

5. CSPAN is THE place to watch it...
No moronic pundits, no commentary. If I want commentary, I'll watch MSNBC, because Olbermann and Maddow may be commenting there.

43. Changed my mind: CNN HD

I like having the audience reaction meter there, as well as the analyst's scorecards.

12. If you can stomach it....
TIVO Fox and watch it later for their post debate analysis ..... esp if Barack knocks it out of the park. One of my fav. memories of the DNC acceptance speech was listening them say things like "well, it was only HALF inspiring" and other begrudging compliments.

If Barack blows the roof off it will be SUPERFUN to watch them squirm.

35. Yes, the stunned disbelief was fun to watch.
That DNC acceptance speech was just too awesome for words and everyone knew it.

42. Totally agree. Give me Gwen Eiffel and gang anyday over the celeb pundits.
I even really like hearing what David Brooks has to say, and I love the balance with Mark Shields. Should be great.

41. PBS. I only get TV through the air and I would never watch it on a major network station.
I also find the post debate discussions of much higher quality on PBS.
