    I can also never tell who's winning.

    I'm totally avoiding it. I just don't have the stomach for it. I'll catch the Cliff Notes on the news reports. :(

    I can't either.

    I'm IMing with my sister. She is more relaxed, and better able to discern good from bad while she's watching it. I'm just too stressed. :D

    My husband told me the other night to stop being nervous or worrying about it. He's like, "don't worry...maybe you're the one who's wrong!" :p

    It's especially nerve-racking when you are a huge supporter of one of the candidates. This debate probably means more than most people realize. I hope the ratings are VERY high.

    It's easier when there's a clearly worse debater.

    But these guys are not that far apart in debate skills.

    Crap crap crap crap. This is way too tense.

    no, they're really about the same.

    i think obama is doing pretty well with being more direct tonight.

    Yeah, I don't think I'd be very into making people think about her tonight, if I were him. ;)

    As much as I hate her, Hillary was a better debater than Barack.
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    Can someone please tell me what Obama's tactic is? He has done nothing so far but run himself in circles with 3 counts of "John Is Right" so far, and if I hear him obnoxiously stutter to get his "that's not true" in one more time i'm gonna strangle someone

    I've been watching on the treadmill. Now it's time for alcohol.

    I think they're both doing okay - if you like McCain, he's being McCain. Ditto for Obama.

    I don't think McCain should mention Palin. Or say maverick.

    It makes me want to see Palin debate. Talk about needing alcohol...

    Yeah, it's going to be a "if you like obama, he won...if you like mccain, he won..."

    I don't see anyone taking a lead yet. What do I know, though? *shrug*
