Setting it up here, folks.

I for one am not expecting either party to gain much ground. The rules look like they were made to prevent anything of that sort from happening. The only way I see one candidate gaining ground is if the other candidate makes an critical error.

Oh, and can someone post a link to where it might be webcast or available for d/l later on tonight? Some of us may not have access to a TV tonight.

Discuss.

 

[DopeyFish]

mario will win this one for sure, but master chief has better hands on with the people.

 

[MIMIC]

Here at OSU, everyone got tickets to the debates and it'll be broadcasted on a big jumbotron thing.

And John Edwards is the guest speaker.

[Lyte Edge]

oh Kerry will break the rules, he has to do something tonight.

 

[ManaByte]

The debate has already started. Here's the first photo from it:

And why don't you suspect that Bush would break the rules?

 

[Ripclawe]

Bush is in the lead, Kerry is the one who has to hit home runs for 90 minutes. Bush doesn't have to do anything out of the ordinary.

 

[MIMIC]

Bush doesn't break rules; he breaks laws.

 

[Banjo Tango]

Bush is in the lead, Kerry is the one who has to hit home runs for 90 minutes. Bush doesn't have to do anything out of the ordinary.

I think staging a "debate" that ensures no cross-dialogue and no un-vetted questions is pretty out of the ordinary.

You could say "both parties agreed to it", sure; but which party holds all the power right now? And whom do these silly debate rules all seem to favor?

 

[MIMIC]

It would have been to Kerry's advantage had he not agreed to Bush's rules of the debates. They could have potentially been postponed and he could explain his story while the Bush Administration races to do some downhill damage control.

Bush Administration: "We don't want actual debates. Bush is too dumb and will be made a fool of on live TV (as if this would be the first time)"

America: "WTF?"

 

[KarishBHR]

nice I came here to do this... but u beat me to it

 

[Phoenix]

This is like Monday Night Football!


"Are you ready for some bullshit!"

 

[Saint Cornelius]

Manabyte, that's awesome.

 

[Outdoor Miner]

Sucks that i'm at work, plz keep me updated for the next hour, folks!!!

 

[Kon Tiki]

Which debate will have unprepared questions?

 

[MetatronM]

This "debate" is going to suck.

 

[Phoenix]

This "debate" is going to suck.

If by suck you mean funnier than ATHF, then yes

 

[Dan]

Which debate will have unprepared questions?

Haha, you're funny.

 

[The Shadow]

I would have never guessed in a million years that Bush would open up with "On September 11...."

Fuck, conservatives are like a broken record.

 

[MetatronM]

:lol

Wow, look at Bush going balls out.

"Not gonna happen. I'm gonna win."

 

[Phoenix]

Come on Bush I almost have debate Bingo!

 

[SKluck]

I would have never guessed in a million years that Bush would open up with "On September 11...."

Fuck, conservatives are like a broken record.

The question WAS about Sept 11th... DURRRR.

The little stoplight time indicators are hiliarious.

 

[Matt]

Firstifeusly

WTF!?

 

[CoryCubed]

All I can say I was would have been happy if they would have pulled a spears/madonna at the beginning.

 

[Dan]

Kerry's a name dropper. I hate name droppers.

 

[Makura]

Ugh. Nothing new. They're both doing awful IMO. Why are they so nervous?

 

[Boomer]

I would have never guessed in a million years that Bush would open up with "On September 11...."

Fuck, conservatives are like a broken record.

:lol The question was about 9/11...

Fuck, you're an idiot

 

[Phoenix]

Bush's expression is PRICELESS!

 

[MetatronM]

OPIUM?! WTF?

 

[goodcow]

Wow, Kerry is grilling him now.

 

[Saint Cornelius]

I can't fucking watch

 

[Kon Tiki]

OPIUM?! WTF?

Kerry is going to invade Bayer.

"Pre September 10th mentality"

oh nos, he is slipping!

 

[Chipopo]

Uh-oh, the Flip-Flop Ball has been pitched...

 

[GG-Duo]

I can't fucking watch

Very much so. This makes me cringe. Politics suck

 

[Chesapeake Silt]

That's a Pre-September 10th mentality, dude. That's like a September 9th mentality....

 

[The Shadow]

Kerry's doing pretty good.

Probably shouldn't have emphasized opium though.

 

[duderon]

It was about national security, not sep 11th. He didn't have to bring it up, but he has to play the terror card. That's the bush administrations best asset, to scare the shit out of the american people to vote for them.

"And the main reason why we'll succeed is because Iraqi's want to be free"

:lol

The terror card allows 2 lesser monsters to be played (flip flop and osama bin laden).

 

[Makura]

Uh oh. Kerry brought up the body armor.

 

[PotatoeMasher]

Kerry's setting himself up for a "you didn't fund the troops" response...

I think he has something planned.... bastard

 

[goodcow]

Wow, here he go...

 

[MetatronM]

Kerry walked himself into a big trap on the Iraq issue there.

 

[The Shadow]

The terror card allows 2 lesser monsters to be played (flip flop and osama bin laden).

Bush keeps bringing up the flip flop like it's a huge issue. Seriously, if that's all he has he should lose.

But you know, most people will will concentrate on flip flopping above all else.

 

[Makura]

Kerry's points are so weak. Bush isn't ripping him enough.

 

[PotatoeMasher]

Kerry walked himself into a big trap on the Iraq issue there.

I swear... I figured now way he brings that up unless he had a snippy response planned...

 

[goodcow]

Kerry to Bush: SIZZZZZZZZZZZZZLE

 

[Ripclawe]

so far leaher(sp?) with the softball questions for kerry
Kerry lying his ass off about body armor and name dropping tommy franks who already said Kerry lied about the diversion of troops.
