That's IT! I am not watching the debate tonight.
I can't take it. I have been on cable news and DU (and a million other news sites) this week with politics, the econony, the Wall Street crisis, etc. I'm burnt beyond belief. I'm sure Biden will do fine.

I'm watching baseball playoffs and will check in on DU. My heart can't take it and neither can my medula at this point.

1. I'm with ya - I decided that this morning - NO desire to watch her talk a lot, and I'll
just find out afterwards how it went. I'm sure if there are good Biden jabs I can watch clips later.

17. Wear Obama Blue instead of Red so we can pick you out in the crowd.
Not sure who I am going to root for. I sometimes root for the Bark-Rats in non-conference games.

Go Ducks!

10. I don't need the stress either
I'm sure Biden will do fine and her voice makes me feel sick to my stomach - I can't deal with it.

14. Why I'm watching
It's not so much anticipating a Palin asteroid-impact scale crash. I reality, I know that is unlikely to happen.

I'm watching for Biden. To be honest, I have not followed his career that closely and wnat to know more about him.

24. I just cannot stand the thought of the trainwreck Palin will be. I may cheat but
I think I'll watch the Canadian English speaking Debate instead.
