I think it is only natural for us to have a thread about this. But I put the poll up there to see if anyone was going to be playing along tonight.
Edit- For those who had not heard, I believe the topic for the debate tonight will be "International Policy"
I am of the mindset that these are mostly scripted anyways. For example, both candidates will be told exactly how to respond to questions on specific issues. Not only that, but exactly how to hold themselves, the tone of voice to use, hand movements, etc. However, I will still watch the debates so in case there is something to learn about the candidates that I do not know.
As for the drinking games:
The two major drinking games I have heard of associated with these candidates are pretty easy. In the Bush drinking game, you drink every time he stumbles over his own words (Lord help you if he starts talking about the nuclear capabilities of some countries). In the Kerry drinking game, you drink everytime you yawn.
Considering theirs 32 pages of rules and that the candidates can't even directly address each other... it won't affect my choice on who to vote for (I guess it could, if something unexpected happens).
They're basically just campaign speeches that are done in intervals :p
That said, I'll still be watching them, as my Polticial Science teacher requires us to watch them.
I'll be watching them too, because I consider them important. However, I really hate how the moderators shield the candidates from each other and how the "debates" have simply become who can read their script the best. The candidates should be able to address each other and the moderator should only step in when a candidate has been backed into a corner for too long. It'd not only make for better TV but for better decision making if America could watch these two morons drill each other directly. Hell, what would be even better is if the audience could ask questions directly and demand a clear answer, not prepared BS. I know I'd love to drill both candidates on their issues and see how they truly act under fire.
