    Will you watch?

    Will you watch the Vice Presidential debates? I'll either watch it live, or I'll save it to DVR for watching later.

      I'll watch it if for nothing more than the comic relief. Can't say more without going political.

        I'm with you, I cant wait to hear what they say. I guarantee they will be nowhere near as polished as their running mates. It should be very amusing

          I have made up my mind so probably won't watch it. The moderator has written a book about Senator Oboma to be released on Inauguration day. I think there might be a conflict of interest there.

            Tom, I still haven't made up my mind who to vote for yet. But the book you refer to seems to be about blacks in politics. Here's a link http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081002/...t/debate_ifill . The title of the book is The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama

              I have already made up my mind, but I will still watch the debate. Can't say more without getting too deeply into politics.

              Regards, Steve

                Unfortunately, the Office of Vice-President is largely irrelevant... so is the debate.

                  Fellow Texan, and F.D.R. Vice President "Cactus Jack" Garner is quoted as saying that the vice presidency wasn't worth "a warm bucket of spit,".

                  I personally think he probably overrated it substantially..

                    I've already made up my mind on who to vote for but will watch it anyway, just to see Sarah wipe up the stage floor with the empty suit.

                      I'm leaning toward not watching, largely based on the Katie Couric interview excerpts I read.

                        It's really just cheerleading for the main candidates.

                        I am going to watch just to see how each side behaves since one has to be "brought up to speed" and the other gets into trouble with off-handed comments.

                            In that case there's no debate (pun intended), Sarah wins hands down! Beauty vs Foot-in-mouth, which would you rather be looking at for a few hours?

                              My whole lack of interest is based on the huge gap between what the mainstream media is presenting, what special interest groups are presenting and the truth.

                              Some where starting with Walter Cronkite lying about the Vietnam War, the press no longer provides an objective view of the situation. So why watch and listen to the BS. I am going to the shop and try and finds some things
