The Situation Thread

[quade 3]

Ok, it's T-4hr and counting . . .

Wall to wall coverage of the most "interesting" debate we're going to see this election cycle. This thread isn't about the VP candidates; it's about the coverage.

What channel are you watching?

No idea what channel yet, but I'm skipping my gymnastics class to watch.

[headoverheels 291]

Channel 2 on Saturday night, for Tina's take.

[grimmie 177]

Cartoon Network because she's 'Wonder Woman"!

OK, CNN, and then switch to FOX and MSNBC for the talking head crap for a good laugh.

I blew off a very profitable gig tonight. This debate is costing me me a good chuck of change to watch live. Yeah, I'm like that sometimes.

I'll watch it on any channel other than CNN. The partisan feelings lines scrolling graph thing is too distracting.

Fair enough. I don't like unnecessary on screen graphics either. That said, CNN is doing some nice pre-debate coverage.

well if we're talking about which talking heads? I'm not sure. I usually flip around until I find a show that isn't too onsided. Although tonight that'll prove to be a challenge.

Do nonyall have DVR or TEVO?

Skip gymnastics? Skip a "profitable gig"? Seriously?

Ya'll are whack.

Stay in shape, make your money and watch it when you get home. Do it for the children.

Well, fortunately we have choices for the entire spectrum;

ABC
BBC America
CBS
CNBC
CNN
CSpan
FoxNews
Fox Network
NBC
PBS
The WB (I'm not kidding!)

I'll be flippin' until just moments before the debate starts but will sit on CSpan for the actual fun.

If I wasn't already injured I'd skip martial arts training tonight to watch the debate. I don't think I'd pass up a paying gig tho.

Real fans don't watch the Superbowl on TiVo when they can watch it live.

Well hell then I'll watch it in HD! HAha Biden will probably look like the crypt keeper and Palin won't look so milfy anymore. Seems fair.

I'll give you that. I can't stand it when the Gator game is in the middle of the day. I BEG Bill to DVR it...

I mean--I went to UF! I'd still rather do something that actually makes a difference in the middle of my day.

Probably FOX unless BBC is covering it, depends on which has the better sound. Afterward and before the only option for me is FOX.

It's on at 2AM here in UK.

Watching it now. So far, 30 mins in, I have yet to see Palin ACTUALLY ANSWER the question asked. I'm tired of hearing the rhetoric.

I like seeing what other people think. I also think it's funny how big the difference is between the men's line and women's line.

Channel 57. Most of you know it as AMC. A Star Trek TNG movie is on and its a sad one. Its the one where Data dies.

As for the debate, I'm going to read and watch the highlights later. I tried to watch it and it made me start grinding my teeth (due to both VP candidates), so I had to turn it off.

I'm tired of hearing "nucular."

She's holding her own. I think I heard a 'nucular' in there though.

Besides the candidates names, most overused phrases:

"Maverick" ~ Palin
"Exxon Mobile" ~ Biden
"My energy producting state" ~ Palin

I disagree . . . "you bet cha!"

I also wanna go back and do a count of the condescending wink and "soccer mom".

BTW, if McCain is Maverick, does that make her . . . Goose?

OH and Ifill . . . such bias . . . wow . . . I mean, wow . . . the Republicans were so right to go off on that. The bias was so clear in just her, uh . . . lemme see . . . color selection in jacket?
