It is on CNN, Sky News, BBC News and Fox News also...most of which are available here on various platforms. I'll Sky+ it on CNN and watch it in the morning.

Wish Fox News would put up an EPG entry for it though so I could Sky+ it there as would like to have a laugh at how they are going to be "Fair and Balanced".

Its being covered all over the shop. Every fecking news outlet you can think of is showing it live tonight at 9PM EST/2AM GMT

I dont know which one to tivo it from!

Ponster

Thanks OP. It's not on the TV in France.

How long is it set to last? Am wondering whether I'll stay up to watch it now.

Overheal

2 hours. topic: Foreign Policy/National Security (Possibly some Economy due to recent events)

Overheal

2 minutes. get comfy. take a piss, grab a brownie.

Watching on CNN, they are still calling McCain a maverick and an expert in foreign policy. :rolleyes: Plus they mentioned McCain's name about 10 times more than Obama.

Bad choice of words by McCain with him saying he hasn't been feeling well lately?

Sad Professor

Obama's on the attack. McCain seems very nervous.

BlitzKrieg

the chair is really trying hard to get the two to actually debate.

It sort of destroys a debate when both sides dont want to say anything risky about the economy

lostexpectation

both palin and mccain have it in for the bears.

BlitzKrieg

i lolled at the bears comments

McCain is being clever telling people he will essentially punish big government when he gets in while Obama is promising to punish big companies.

Wonder which one people hate more?

BlitzKrieg

WOOOO!


WE GOT MENTIONED!

11% tax!

He was probably trying to imitate Reagan's famous quip about his age in a debate. Failed miserably.

BlitzKrieg

the mod seems to be getting short with the two of them.

sink

Didn't McCain go way off on a tangent just there. He was asked what he would cut and ended up talking about investing in nuclear power.

BlitzKrieg

and veterens

dont forget veterens

Jim John Tom

BlitzKrieg

did he just say he supported the torture of prisoners or did i mishear that???

Nope, opposed. I think?

BlitzKrieg

ahh ok, I had slipped off to the bathroom so I only heard the latter half of that talk.

Heisenberg.

More bloody veterans.

BlitzKrieg

No wonder people like making iraq an issue, it makes the debate more lively!

^ Very clear for me. No re-buffering at all.

MementoMori

Is it just me or is Obama trouncing McCain?

Watching it on Sky News

Obama sounds presidential; McCain sounding like a legislator

McCain sounds weak and frail while Obama sounding like someone who is preparing to rule the country

How many times is McCain going to mention Petraeus?

About as much as he is going to mention how he's not Miss Congeniality.

bobbyjoe

I'd give it to Obama so far but I'm biased!!

bobbyjoe

The soldiers bracelet story pass the bucket...............

sink

Obama won hands down on the economy. So far on foreign policy its a tie.

BlitzKrieg

OH GOD!

they both are pulling out the soldier letters!

How long did McCain take with that story?

MementoMori

McCain mentions his braclet again - FFS

Fair play to Obama for nailing him on it.

You have to account for the target audience Americans lap that **** up.

Ruskie4Rent

I could do without the two of them stuttering through pre-rehearsed sob stories about bracelets.

I agree with this but I'd say this is a calculated strategy to look more presidential.
