I’m planning to try to pay close attention, by sitting away from my computer,

I know, huh. When I watch these type things, I sit in a position where firearms and large objects are out of reach.

With this economy, I can't afford to add to the pile of bullet-ridden carcasses of TV's and PC's out in the back. Actually, I was good on that point until the Blaze channel came on Dish Network.

My mama, bless her, loved Glenn Beck. She had a seriously calm nature about her. I tended to chew the armrests off my chair when I watched him, so we tended to watch Big Bang Theory when I visited.

See... I'm getting much better.

I gotta telly ya onyx if Mitt wanted to put this thing away once and for all for all, all he would have to do is campaign with Sarah and Marco.Just one photo of Mitt in the middle, Sarah on one side and Marco on the other would fire up the base so big we couldn’t lose no matter what.

Right on! Excellent idea!

[jusduat]

It has started to slow down for me just a few minutes ago.
I think it’s the east and south that get bogged down.

[IrishPennant]

I get two to five seconds on a refresh right now...same as it ever was.

[tomkat]

Tho afraid to say it - so far so good .. much quicker response than last time

[pollywog]

another eagle cam watcher? YEAH!!!!
I’ve been on eagle cam forums for 7 years and love them. Decorah is too crowded though. Love White Rock BC and Maine.

Polly ..who is trying to keep her nerves from going haywire waiting for this debate!

"I was biting my nails, eating cheetos and drinking cheap wine".....hmmm sounds like a country song!"

I think you got a winner in there somewheres....lol

[tet68]

Seems to be working ok so far, we’ll see as the
night goes on.

Go MITT!

[freepertoo]

I’m going to just follow this thread rather than watching. My nerves won’t take it!

[God luvs America]

to semi-quote Joe Louis, i just hope He’s on our side....

[rurgan]

Yes he has to.

[bigbob]

Nicely done ;-)

[Marcella]

“My favorite! With peanut butter in between?”

I’ve never thought of doing that. Will it kill me?

[glock rocks]

Oh my... You’re a thousand miles away... The snowplows will be running before you get here.

Maybe I should send you pictures.

[jazusamo]

GO ROMNEY!

GO ROMNEY! is right!

Hopefully he'll bury Obama tonight, if he does it could sew up the election.

[CincyRichieRich]

Ya’ll...pics take more memory...if we just comment and skip the comedic pics, scripts and such, we will have better performance. No pics.

[rwfromkansas]

I am nervous...hope Romney does well in this one and Obama overdoes the angry. Don’t want a draw declared. Won’t know till later though....boarding a plane in 15. Praying!

[tomkat]

John, whatever you did, do it s'more !   ;-)

[onyx]

I’m in Mississippi. I’m not having any trouble thus far.

I’m going to move to my comfy couch to watch the debate intently.

I won’t add to the discussion.

Best wishes and prayers for y’all to be able to post your thoughts and erudite opinions!

Another, separate LIVE thread could help, just like Jim mentioned in an earlier post.

[mkmensinger]

It’s just the best!
