The Debates
« on: September 22, 2008, 05:36:52 PM »

...So the first debate is Friday.

I had fun hanging out in #ff for the '04 debates, but no longer have my computer in the same room as my TV.  Expect there should be some news sites streaming it, but that leaves the question of what channel I should hang out in.

Since it's about an hour away from my house, I was going to go down there and watch it in person. Unfortunately, I have to go out of town. =/

From what I understand, the Presidential debates are not very tightly controlled in format. Will it- or has it already been asked of McCain his thoughts on Palin very possibly becoming president through his absence/demise?

There's nothing stopping you from just making a #TehDebates channel on Esper and inviting everyone in.

I would be interested in a 2008 Thad Debate livechatblog. I need some sort of ground for when someone says something stupid, everyone starts clapping, and I start to think I've taken crazy pills. :derp:

To be fair, I need to start watching the news without your guys' commentary, or via the Daily Show.  I'll never understand how 51% 49% of America seems to think if I see everything through a left-colored lens.

You could get it from FOX :wat: and watch as your left-of-center perspective "averages" to batshit-insane-right-winger-ville.

It's like Weinerville, only behind the curtain there's also a gay prostitute sucking you off.

They did one at ASU's Gammage Auditorium 4 years ago.  I currently live less than a ten-minute bike ride from there, but at the time I was a 3-hour drive away.

From what I understand, the Presidential debates are not very tightly controlled in format.

That's what I've heard.  I'll believe it when I see it.

Will it- or has it already been asked of McCain his thoughts on Palin very possibly becoming president through his absence/demise?

I'm not sure if this one has audience questions.  I don't see Obama or the moderator asking that question.

So, McCain's suspending his campaign, seeking delays for the debates.  So he can focus on the financial crisis that is, of course, all in our heads.

I don't know about you guys, but I personally love it when an executive candidate is incapable of multitasking.

Does that mean his obnoxious commercials will stop airing for a bit?

Yes, but he will still be making appearances.

It sounds to me like since the whole "she isn't ready yet, come back later" excuse worked for his running mate, McCain decided that he could do the same until he could come up with a nice spin on "The Republicans just raped you.  Fucking.  Raped you."

It's a pleasure to see how violently the media is turning on him for trying to cancel the biggest TV event between now and Super Bowl Sunday.

Personally, I don't give a shit.  All the time-outs in the world won't keep Obama from splitting the mothafuckin' uprights.

...Do we have a "my jaw is on the fucking floor" emote?  Hm, I guess :confused: :gasp: :omg: :pop: :OoO: will do.

...On top of everything else everyone has already pointed out is fucking crazy about this, McCain has spent the past two months swearing that the only reason he's been airing attack ads is because Obama didn't agree to his town hall meetings.

And the right-wing blogosphere spin has been that McCain was going to destroy Obama in the debates because Obama can't speak without a teleprompter.

This is just crazy.  Flat-out batshit fucking loco.

And I can't imagine it helping McCain.  The only people who are going to be spinning this as a good idea are the ones who are totally, irretrievably in the tank for him already.

I can't imagine Obama agreeing.  So I'm seeing Friday's debate shaping up to be McCain whining that they shouldn't be there, they should be out solving thre crisis, and Obama responding that McCain helped get us into this mess in the first damn place.

Actually, Obama's counterattack seems to already be exactly what TA said: if you can't manage to uphold both obligations, then you're not fit to be President of the United States.

...although this could backfire somewhat, seeing as how Obama himself hasn't felt pressure on nearly the same scale in his life (of course, that's because he's never destroyed a country's economy).  It could be worded as "Obama doesn't actually understand what the hell is going on right now."

Easier line of attack, when the country's in the shitter McCain runs and hides.
