Live Debate Analysis

8:00: well I didn't find PBS, but apparently NBC has it, in HD!

8:01: Jim Leher's got pretty shiny eyes

8:02: No applause, good, I hated applause taking up damn time.

8:03: Whoa, we're just starting the debate right away, no opening statements

8:04: Obama looks blacker than normal?

8:07: McCain coughing sure isn't boosting confidence

8:08: I wonder how this talking to each other thing will work out. Obama is still addressing Leher atm.

8:14: Rheeeeeeeeeeetoriiiiiics. What did I expect. I think they're both wrong and the government needs to keep its hands off the economy. Not that I know, but I think it sounds good. Capitalism should work itself out.

8:22: The dynamics of the debate is frankly more interesting than the substance. Lehrer's trying to get them to talk to each other, and they're still taking turns with monologues, and Obama likes to motion to Lehrer for his turn to talk.

8:29: there should be no subsidies, let capitalism decide

8:37: This ORGY of spending? hahahahaha (Obama's words)

8:41: THERE IS NO EXIT STRATEGY

8:42: Obama has a US flag pin, McCain doesn't. Hard hitting analysis from Grazing Hitbox

8:45: lawl WMD

8:50: no commercial break, I guess I'll go microwave dinner now

8:59: McCain speaks slower than Obama, that's why McCain seems to be getting less time.

9:00: McCain: "I got a bracelet!" Obama: "I got a bracelet too!"

9:04: McCain has now paused twice before answering a question. Haven't prepared enough because he suspended his campaign?

9:07: "Democracists" instead of "Democrats", discuss.

9:11: North Korean got nukes? Is that proved? wiki wiki.

9:33: I've lost interest in paying full attention to the debate. Lego Batman? These Lego games are, um, odd ideas. I heard the star war ones were good, but the premise of Lego is still weird.

9:37: Debates's over, McCain's wife's hot too? At least well-decorated.
