Live audio feed for the peole who can't see their TV's from the computer (like me).  This came in very usefull during Saddleback.

I'd rather have Fox's audio feed, but I haven't found one yet.

there is a video link at cspan.org, also.  I would probably watch it there, since they won't prematurely exclamate, like I am sure the CNNites will.

I'm trying to avoid video feeds.  My low-budget ISP package doesn't like them.

understood.  C-SPAN has an audio feed as well.

I can't find that, either. I was just going to watch it on tv.

Well remember, both candidates know the questions and have prepared answers...the only off the cuff responses will be when they are allowed to respond to eachother.  still may be worthwhile.

Barack Hussein Obama runs a risk of being over prepared:

As President, how would you strengthen international cooperation to prevent nuclear capabilities from falling into dangerous hands and turn [our current] failing grade into an "A"? -- What alternative fuel, energy efficiency, and emissions reduction policies would you seek to implement nationally and internationally by the end of your first term as President in January 2013? -- How will you elevate both the level and effectiveness of US government development spending to advance our national security and foreign policy goals? -- How will you reaffirm America's global leadership in promoting human rights and the rule of law around the world? -- As President, how will you actively engage China while encouraging it to become a stronger stakeholder in the international system?

Souns like McCain's strengths.

No television here, remember.

If you want to watch while commenting there is the C-Span 'debate-cam'

Damn - I'm getting a bit tense here.. I really hope Big Mac doesn't blow it...  

[ReardenSteel]

http://www.channelsurfing.net/ has CNN streaming video in pretty reliable quality. (my TV is in another room as well) I'd prefer FOX but their site is weird to navigate and  I have not had anymore luck there than anyone else yet.

Also, fwiw, ABC is the only station (non-cable) with a scheduled debate analysis* following the debate according to my yahoo TV guide.


*(Obama spin)

mccain doesn't need his pal, telly prompter, to do his thing.  The BarackStar! can't sing off the script.

foxnews is running with the teddy kennedy story as though it changes something.

Personally I hate the post debate analysis. I don't like to have an explanation of what I just watched.

[Wretched Excess]

isn't it odd that the media, the folks that are most out of touch with us commoners, are setting the expectations?

[miskie]

Agreed, but McCain is..well..McCain. One never really knows what McCain is going to say or do. Sometimes he is a giant among men, other times I could just choke him.

I feel the same way about "book discussions".  Let me enjoy my book and leave me be.

exactly.  he has been erratic throughout his entire career.  it shouldn't surprise too many people that he is being erratic now.

[Chris]

It's not good to mix "you know's" and "uhh's".  Escpecially on an empty stomach.

What can I say? I'm a politics-junkie. Plus if Obama does bad it's fun to watch them squirm.
