Okay, I'll start the thread but it's not hard to start one. You just hit "post" and fill in the blanks, preview, edit and hit post. Then, you're on. But, I'll do it about 7:40 pm in case they have a pre-show like the Oscars. LOL

I am covering McLawyer. Do you want to cover the moderator or Governor Bush? Then we just need an additional person to cover the one you don't select.

We can do this and I will set out our format in the body of the thread at the top. Since we don't know who is going to speak first, if you are near your tv, just start typing every time the person you selected: Jeb or the mod opens their mouth. (let others make commentary - we should just type verbatim as best as possible). I used to type 100 wpm but I'm a lot slower now. But, connecting words can be tossed out for ... if they talk fast. The idea is to give thread watchers the gist of the debates. Key words, key sentences, annoying or good sound bites.

I'm not going to look at body language until I watch my tape later. Someone else can eyeball the candidates and post that. SO, WE NEED ONE VOLUNTEER TO TYPE FOR THE DEBATE FRIDAY NIGHT either the mod or Jeb's remarks. FV

I took advanced chemistry instead of typing. Can't type worth a darn.

Personally, I like the free flowing comments in a live thread. I plan to record the debate on the 'puter, will have still screen shots posted during the debate.

so, will there be two threads going?

"I used to type 100 wpm but I'm a lot slower now."

One comment.....Good Grief! I'm lucky to do 25wpm!

I have started threads, but they've all been based upon a source like a news article. I'm much more comfortable with you initiating it.

Luckily, I do have a TV near my computer. It would be next to impossible to run from room to room to do this. Thanks for the transcribing tips.

YEA! Live thread! FV, from previous live threads I think we can safely say that the DU-Dems. (McBride) will simply get really angry at our comments, considering us too stupid to get it. He can't change his positions...he's a solid, far left Dem. He can lie about his positions, get a haircut and a new suit, get the press to lie for him...but nothing he does will change his spots.

What about this for a slogan: IF YOU LIKE DASCHLE, VOTE MCBRIDE! (^:
