You can view them online...CSPAN.com should have them.

I know CNN.com does, but I’m not encouraging you to visit.

It means ObamaMania is over.

It also means. there are a lot of undecideds lying about where they don’t stand.
But let’s remember, the media is to blame for creating the cult of the undecided swing voter.

Many of us recorded it so we could catch the game, then go home and watch the debates.

Not necessarily...
The typical 0bama voter isn't the type to watch a debate. They're more likely to watch the Daily Show while taking bong hits.
They don't actually want to know who 0bama really is, they are afraid of having their perceptions shattered.
They only want to see the Che Guevara-like image in the posters, and have Jon Stewart tell them that their guy is cool.

I was really looking forward to watching the debate. I watched the first 45 minutes and I had to turn it off.

If these two clowns are the best this country can muster to run for President then we’re in deep stuff.

Dumb debated dumber. Neither has ANY FLIPPIN CLUE how we got into this financial mess or how to get out of it.

God help this country.

Whatever my feelings and disagreements with Bush these last four years, in 2004 I did like the guy and I was heavily invested in him remaining the President because of judges and the war.

I can’t stand McCain, and it’s not like I don’t know where he stands anyway on the issues. I don’t like Obama, but unlike Kerry who was funny in the way Biden can sometimes be, Obama is a bore.

I may watch Sarah and Biden’s. Because I like her and you never know what’s going to come out of Biden’s mouth.

The only surprise is that the Messiah’s followers didn’t turn out in higher number.

Probably because it was Fri. night.

Exactly. And Obama knew it that's why he was hell bent on getting the national secyrity debate done..on a Friday night.

That may be the message to draw from this.

Doesn't mean many aren't still voting for him, but maybe the celeb factor is dead.

So I’m supposed to feel good about a country filled with people who cares more about HS football than the future of the nation?

Note sure if you’re aware of this but there’s some fancy new technology that allows you to RECORD a TV show and then play it back whenever you want. So you can watch a HS football game and watch the debate.

Why watch? The majority of voters minds are already made up on this election. The debates won’t change that.

The majority, yes, but there is about 14% undecided which I think is pretty high.
I think a lot of those are people who just don’t want to admit they’re not voting for 0bama.
