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.

Ashen, think of the wardrobe this way:

"The KGB was just renamed."

Somewhat accurate. They even occupy the same building in Moscow.

I'm just happy that both of them can pronounce "nuclear"

"CCCP ceased to exist"

Now you're mixing Cyrillic and Latin alphabets... If you rewrite the Cyrillic "CCCP" letters, it spells SSSR, so your all-Latin text would read "SSSR ceased to exist"

I think McCain has out whistled Obama in this debate. I had to turn the vol off because every other word he speaks is followed by a whistle.

"McCain adamant and confident, Obama wishy washy"

Matter of perception based on preconceived perception, methinks. One comes across as inflexible, the other comes across as too existential. Both as bad.

"Everytime John mentions his 'record', the Indy line droops."

It reinforces the perception that Republicans are the party of the past. Indies don't care for that.

If there is one line that has made me lean more towards one candidate, it is "Government has gotten too big".

I believe that, would like it to be much smaller.

"reorganization" of government? You mean creating brand new departments and increasing the bloating of the bureaucracy more than even LBJ's 'great society' growth of government?

He's including consumer and portfolio debt. Government debt alone is about $500 billion.
