In reply to the discussion: Anyone else not watching the debate? [View all]hlthe2b
(113,973 posts)5. I am going to record it and probably read a real time live blog (maybe Keith Olbermann's) during it...

I can't get much live tv where I live but I will watch every outlet to see how and what is reported.

With the tv off, I'll put on some music and record the debate while reading the play-by-play here in DU.

Yes. I watch debates. Joe is a smart and funny debater who doesn't take bullshit from anyone.
