My advice to all debate watchers
Turn on the TV at 9 EST, watch the debate and immediately turn off the TV. DO NOT put yourself in a position to be influenced by the bobbleheads on the cable news channels with their "analysis". I won't even use DU until very late tonight, because I just don't want to be a part of picking apart and getting needlessly angry at everything the "experts" on FOXCNNMSNBC are pontificating about. Nor do I want to see all of the nimrods in these focus groups (TV focus groupers always seem to end up voting for Bush: he speaks well to stupid people). It just gets me too angry.

1. Sorry, I have to watch Wes Clark afterward on the The Daily Show.
No way can I miss my man.

5. I'm watching it on CSPAN
so I don't have to hear talking heads yakking. The best part is I have talked a ton of people into doing the same. One woman said "I always forget about CSPAN, thanks!"

Then I'll come on here and see what the brave have to report about the media WHORES.

6. My plan exactly
I can't stand the spinning. It's gotten so bad, I can't even watch television news of any kind anymore.

8. I plan on watching daily show after debate
On the other hand, my mind is already made up so when I see the bullshit they spew I just tell myself, if I can tell it's obvious crap maybe everybody else can too
