If anyone wants to chat, share notes, express opinions or even "debate" during the Presidential debate, feel free to do so here. I imagine that most of us will be listening intently so I fully understand if comments are scarce. 

But if you want to talk after the debate, come see who's here.

Umm, that tax rebate we got? Yep. Treasury got most of the money from China.

It's my beleif that Russia, China, and North Korea together are the reasons the Middle East is in such disarray. These countries are for themselves (after the oil) and want to secure their interest by pushing the USA out of the region. Russia is very dangerous, as is N. Korea and China, yet both candidates think they can stand up to them without grave consequences.

Sarkozy is a committed European and an admirer of the US. Being pro-US does not mean that he will agree with our policies.

Okay, I'm outta here. Gotta be up at 0430.

I give the edge, slightly, to Obama.

Neither scored a knock-out tonight.

I was hanging in there for the first hour...It was like watching a tennis match. Both candidates made good points, and I am more confused than ever.

The subject of the war almost brought WWIII into my living room. You think you know someone, and then it's an election year.

I was going with pretty evenly matched until McCain got off on the "I'm for vets" kick. Total pandering, based on his voting record.

"Obama said the war in Iraq started in 2003. I say it started in 2001 on 9/11."

Interesting observation, given that even Bush has said that 9/11 and Iraq were not connected to one another.

Yes, we had a recession before 9/11. The car companies tried to keep the economy going with huge discounts.
