First things first..what are the drinkin words?

Extra points for costing less than $5 :-). If a bottle is really bad, I mix it with Diet 7-up or put it in the spaghetti sauce!

“It time to start.....”

Oops.

This is exciting. Politics is like sports....except it’s not a spectator sport. We get to hit the running back in the jaw with our forearm!

I don’t think Lehrer will ask him if his seat is comfortable.

I dont understand why Fox has Dick Morris on every show as their go to guy. Didnt this guy write a book entitled Condi vs Hilary? I think he got that one wrong.

[Sacajaweau]

I was thinking about that, too. Nothing up my sleeve....

If its red its generally a welcome addition to cooking

I dont have faith at all that Obama will be asked appropriate questions that will expose him.

No Lerher will not ask the questions important to Conservatives but if McCain is smart he will force the questions with his answers. My understanding that they have some flexibility.

[TurtleStink]

From 2004 we all need to remember these four things:

1. The moderator will be a demon rat and on Obama’s side
2. George Bush and John McCain are both grumpy and tongue tied
3. Brit Hume and Fred Barnes will absolutely inflame you afterwards by saying good things about B.O. performance.
4. Authenticity and True Grit will show through.

And a p.s. The MSM will say B.O. won even if he pukes on his presidential seal and lets his pants fall to his knees exposing his Al Jazeera Underwear and metrosexually shaved legs.

That’s a good bit of information for all the people that are going to be so smashed tonight they forget the whole debate.;)

[Tax-chick]

I poach fish in bad white wines.

[Perdogg]

I wonder if 0bama will go after Palin tonight?

[mylife]

White is good for mushrooms too

This one is live CSpan debate cam, they have moved into the debate hall now. so it might be a good debate view for those with a computer w/o TV access in same room.

CSpan debate cam Click "watch" and its on... fullscreen is a bit blurry but passable. They are having a few pre-debate speakers atm.

[Hattie]

I am nervous too. McCain needs a good night, if he doesnt get it, I’m afraid it will be on uphill battle.

Win or lose it will be uphill.

Tell ya what I'm praying for. The Clintons - to deliver a great big juicy, creamy October surprise for Obama. Everyone knows the Repubs never spring October surprises. We just endure them. But the Clintoons can do it for us. That's my hope.

Wolfson just came up with another drinking phrase: “on George Bush’s watch”

[plain talk]

Once America gets a gander at Obama having to answer real questions, you’ll see his poll numbers drop 20 points tomorrow.

Whats that supposed to mean? You act like this is his first debate. He has been through dozens with the dems. Real questions? We'll see - depends on what Lehrer and the others decide to ask. But I wouldn't expect anything surprising to be asked of Obama that would fluster him. He knows all the questions they will ask.

[Perdogg]

Are you holding up okay? ;)

[retrokitten]

Didnt this guy write a book entitled Condi vs Hilary? I think he got that one wrong.

He seems to to be wrong more often then right.

[MeekMom]

evenin’ Ma! ((hugs))

[mylife]

Oh dear.

I hope no one is working in the AM
