So, I’m thinking of live-blogging the debate tonight
This debate could be historic between the VP candidates tonight and, even though it’s way past my bed time, I was thinking I’d set up a chat room on the blog if you guys want to get together with the crew at TAH tonight. We did it four years ago for a couple of the debates and election night and we had pretty good participation and a lot of fun. So what do you guys think?
Joe Biden will exceed my expectations if he can find the debate. I think Jill ought to bring some handi-wipes to clean up the smoodge that Ryan is going to leave.
I’ll leave it up to TSO to set the rules for the drinking game.

He’ll find the debate, Jonn. Doubtless his driver has the address and a GPS. (smile)
This is going to be ranked as the #1 comedy of the year. I got popcorn and cheap beer for all the spit takes and laughter that will be ensued.
I hope Paul Ryan doesn’t wear a shirt tonight. Don’t judge me.
Had actually decided I was going to ignore it totally, and stay offline. BUT if you do a live blog (with editorial ad libs along the way……lol) I might change that decision..;)
Kate, you owe me a new keyboard.
Damn! Kate beat me to it!
Popcorn (not that microwave stuff, either) and diet Coke.
So how does this live blog work?
Yeeeeeah, I’m hoping Ryan has to use his shirt to mop what’s left of Biden off the floor as well. A girl has needs. Just sayin’.
I don’t think we should get too cocky about how this debate goes. Biden is a good debater, despite his gaffes and kerfuffling. But maybe he will get his facts wrong, somehow.
I’m betting Biden will show up in a pair of clown shoes, a red nose and no pants.
And I agree with Kate.
And while we don’t want to get too cocky, I do think Ryan is much smarter (and definitely hotter) than Biden on the issues.
Your burning daylight, Lilyea. Lets do this!
I feel like I accidently walked into a showing of “Magic Mike”.
Nicky, Kate, ROS, and me (Ex-PH2): all in favor of Ryan with no shirt, Biden with clown shoes.
OK, just before 9pm, there’ll be a post that has a “Cover It Live” box. You’ll have to sign in and since I have to approve each comment, it’ll take a moment for your comment to appear. We’ll stay on until the debate ends at 10:30. Maybe a while longer.
Wish I could. For some strange reason the boards here are blocked at work. Just as well…can’t partake in any of the drinking games unless coffee is allowed.
@12 – I would prefer Biden wore pants, but I fear he may accidentally forget.
@11 – Channing Tatum, while hot, is dumber than a post, and that makes him infinitely less appealing than Paul Ryan, who is hot AND smart!
@ 13 GREAT IDEA ….
Biden Comedy Special …..
Tonight is going to be halariously funny and entertaining … I have not looked forward to a Comedy Central special more than I have this one.
Wait … what?
It is a debate .. that makes it even funnier!
A15 – Nicki, I have that same uncomfortable feeling.
Biden may be good at debating, but I’m sure he’ll be fumbling a little after all the gaffes they have dropped recently.
HEY … FOUL! Drinking is no game! It is a neccessity!
Biden a master debater?
That might be right if we lose the “de” at the beginning of the second word…
The downside here is if Ryan gets lost in the numbers he comes across as a lecturing professor and not an inspirational leader with a plan. I suspect he has been well prepared though and I am eager to see what happens. I am hoping to conclude my workday in time to take it all in.
Great idea. How about we drink every time Ol’ Joe puts his foot in his mouth???
@21 you’d have to be wearing one of those two beer can helmets and have an open line in your mouth from minute one to get that much liquor in you.
2 shots or 1 beer for the first time he says, “GM is alive and Osama Bin Laden is dead”.
4 shots or 2 beer for the second time he says, “GM is alive and Osama Bin Laden is dead”.
Crack a bottle of bubbly for the third time he says, “GM is alive and Osama Bin Laden is dead”. Because the election will be over by then.
I’ll stick to Diet Coke and fresh popcorn from my WhirlyPop popper. That’s right — none of that microwave stuff in my house. I make REAL popcorn, with REAL butter. Yeah!
If I could just keep my cats out of the popcorn bowl…
<eyeballing PH-2….You are strange but wuvable, woman. Go Army! hehehe….
Well, I won’t be watching the debate (I rather go to yet another anger management class – yelling at the TV is frustrating), and I won’t be drinking.
So I’ll sign in here to read the comments without commenting myself.
Why am I telling you this? So you’ll know there is an audience and perform accordingly.
Well, Zero, I’m not so sure about performing here, and I do NOT want to see any neckedness on the TV either!
Wondering if Biden will have an alcohol IV?
@22…VOV
