Any pub showing the debate tonight

Kelter · 02-10-2008 11:32am #1

As it may resemble a boxing match... is there any pub going to show the big event?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 02-10-2008 11:33am

is it tonight? bugger, I thought it was tomorrow.

02-10-2008 11:34am

Cén tam?

sink · 02-10-2008 11:41am

The last debate started at 2am I would say it's the same tonight. I don't think many pubs will be open that late i'm afraid.

toiletduck · 02-10-2008 12:01pm

It's as good an excuse for a lock in as any :pac:

banquo · 02-10-2008 12:56pm

2am it is.

Anyone in the Dublin 9 area / DCU intersted?

Rowley Birkin QC · 02-10-2008 1:34pm

What channel is it on?

Pretty much all the news channels.

aidan_walsh · 02-10-2008 1:40pm

RTE should be carrying it live online as well.

banquo · 02-10-2008 1:40pm

Cnn start coverage and speculation at 1am, Sky News will have it from when it starts at 2am.

Rowley Birkin QC · 02-10-2008 1:41pm

Cheers, couldn't find a listing on entertainment.ie.

oscarBravo · 02-10-2008 2:23pm

I have the Sky+ set to record it on CNN at 2am, not interested enough to watch live but I'll grab it in the morning.

Overheal · 02-10-2008 2:53pm

9PM EST All Broadcast Stations available in your area: FOX, CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, etc.

Dave! · 02-10-2008 10:03pm

My ma said that RTÉ will be repeating it at 8.30am tomorrow. Not sure how true that is! I'm not staying up til 2am though, f*ck that

I'll just download pictures of Palin

yumma yumma yumma!

brianthebard · 02-10-2008 10:13pm

Too drunk to watch it live but for the car crash tv that it is I shall watch it tomorrow. Hope its exciting, its bound to be more messed up than the pres debates anyways!

Tom65 · 02-10-2008 10:55pm

Does anyone know where I could find a stream of it online?

Overheal · 02-10-2008 11:10pm

good question. I'd tell you any of the big 3 but those would all be IP restricted I am sure. You dont have a television?

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 02-10-2008 11:21pm

msnbc streamed all the primaries, would they not do this as well?

Inquitus · 02-10-2008 11:24pm

Palin will run well, there is no Couric to interject or ask her to answer the question, so she can rant on nothing as much as she likes, she may well be mic'ed etc.

I expect this will, wrongly, show her in a much better light than the CBS series of interviews did...............for the sake of the world I hope I am wrong.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 02-10-2008 11:26pm

sure if its not IP restricted give it a lash.

banquo · 02-10-2008 11:29pm

CNN will be streaming it online. I've never been wild about that sort of thing but I watched the RNC 4 nights in a row that way and never had one problem.

RTE won't be showing it until 8:30 am. Pricks.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 02-10-2008 11:33pm

if obama isn't involved, rte doesn't give a ****

RTE will be streaming it live at 2am on www.rte.ie/live tonight, however. It just won't be broadcast until 8.30am.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 03-10-2008 12:35am

o rly?

i looked at their live listing earlier and saw nothing, great stuff

BlitzKrieg · 03-10-2008 1:03am

she can call him joe!

BlitzKrieg · 03-10-2008 1:06am

???

did she answer the first question?

Tom65 · 03-10-2008 1:07am

BBC are streaming.

Sarah Palin is funny. Straight into the soccer Moms and "Can I call you Joe?".

Rowley Birkin QC · 03-10-2008 1:07am

I have a feeling this is going to get outrageously funny.

The rabbit pulling the levers in Palins head is going to go into overdrive.

Rowley Birkin QC · 03-10-2008 1:08am

Laugh out loud funny from Palin.

BlitzKrieg · 03-10-2008 1:08am

has she got around to actually answering the first question yet?

Crash · 03-10-2008 1:09am

sure, McCain DEFINITELY meant the american workforce when he said the fundementals of the economy were strong. bull****.

MementoMori · 03-10-2008 1:11am

Looks like a smart strategy by the DEMS - having Biden attack McCain as opposed to attacking Palin

Palin seeems to be just spouting nonsense - she seems to be going for the "politicans are bad" vote which is utterly bizarre when you think about it.

Tom65 · 03-10-2008 1:11am

The question comes and you can see her mind click and the memorized answer come out. Same goes for Joe Biden, obviously, but to a much (much) lesser extent.

She annoys me too much. It sounds like she's talking to 8-year-olds. "Gee whizz, folks, we just gotta pull together and get through this gosh darnit economic crisis".

Crash · 03-10-2008 1:13am

She's rambling somewhat, but not anywhere near as much as she did in the Couric interviews. not quite as disgraceful.

BlitzKrieg · 03-10-2008 1:14am

OUCH!

Now she is off on a tangent.

edit: except the mod stopped her

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 03-10-2008 1:18am

I think she's doing alright, really working that pagent training.

Crash · 03-10-2008 1:18am

Having a shot at the moderator doesn't come across great either. Biden's initial reply on the tax comment came across significantly clearer.

Also, stating that government is the problem, and that it should let business work on its own, at the moment in the middle of a credit crisis, is a silly point.

She is doing reasonably well, she is just quite an unclear speaker. I find it much easier to pull out Bidens main points in comparison with hers, because she combines two or three points into a single statement, with none of them being clear.

Rowley Birkin QC · 03-10-2008 1:19am

She really seems to be going down the route of trying to speak to government sceptics and paint politicians as trying to fool "ordinary Joe 6-pack".

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 03-10-2008 1:20am

you gotta wonder where this chick was for the past week. Must have been some training session down in sedona.

--edit

oh, bridge to nowhere

*boom*

MementoMori · 03-10-2008 1:21am

She seems to not be able to put sentences together to form a coherent point.

The individual sentences themselves make sense but when you put them together there is no central coherence.

Biden has been very solid - very good on the tax cuts and fairness, getting a bit bogged down on detail there.

Nice one on the bridge to nowhere

K-9 · 03-10-2008 1:21am

First big win, Health for Biden

Tom65 · 03-10-2008 1:21am

Easy on the statistics there, Joe. It's a lot of them, quickly.

"Slow down foreign assistance" - I'm sure middle America is devastated about that.

Anyone know how long this is? I've an exam tomorrow...

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 03-10-2008 1:23am

oooooooh
nice little dig at barrack obama's bitter comment.,

1.5 hrs

K-9 · 03-10-2008 1:24am

She's doing ok, but referring to what I did in Alaska too much.

Good point on oil though!

Crash · 03-10-2008 1:24am

I feel like she's flirting at me through the television. Keeps waggling her eyebrows and making my pantaloons go up.

MementoMori · 03-10-2008 1:25am

Palin doing her best to avoid answering any of the questions and going off into prepared spiels

I don't know how it would go down in the US, but I don't believe what she says about her and fighting big oil companies.

The Washington Post blog seems to be largely positive about Palin. I'm not saying she's really bad (well...) - I just think she doesn't look nearly as professional as Joe Biden.

BlitzKrieg · 03-10-2008 1:27am

hmm.

Is the latest question jump her by surprise?

She seems to be repeating a previous answer and was a bit unsure at the start?
