Did you find yourself yelling at the TV screen during last week’s Vice Presidential Debate?  I certainly did.  Here’s a secret though:  the people inside the TV, yeah… they can’t hear you.  But have no fear because [yes] WE CAN!!  So instead of throwing things at your new flat screen, join me right here tonight at 9pm eastern time and we can air our frustrations, express our thoughts, and debate the debate together LIVE AND IN LIVING COLOR during Round 2 of the presidential debates between Sen. John McCain and Sen. Barack Obama. 

Just so you know, word on the street is that John McCain said that he’s ready to ”take the gloves off” tonight, so I hope y’all come prepared to throwdown.  I know I am.  Let’s get it!!!!

8:45 p.m.:  15 minutes until the showdown.  Get excited! 

9:00 p.m:  Here we go!! 

9:01:  I wonder if John McCain will look Obama in the eye THIS time???? 

9:03:  Well, I’ll be damned…he DID look him in the eye!!! 

9:05: Right on to a “middle class rescue package” Barack! 

9:07:  John McCain seems very confident and [admittedly biased opinion] uncharacteristically warm so far.

9:08:  ”Not you Tom”—John McCain   Hardy, har, har 

9:12:  No, you suspended your campaign as a political stunt!!! 

9:12:  How do YOU know that he [young black guy] hadn’t ever heard of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Sen McCain?  That’s quite a generalization. 

9:14:  When McCain talks, he sounds like an elementary school teacher talking to her class.  When Obama speaks, he sounds like a college professor. 

9:16: “But look, you’re not interested in seeing politicians point fingers, you’re interesting in how this is going to affect you.”–Barack Obama    True, that!! 

9:17: Barack just said he’s “confident in our economy.”  Ehh…I wonder if they’ll use that against him. 

9:19:  WTF kinda question was that???? I’m ROTFLMAO!!! 

9:21: I gotta admit, McCain is DAMN good at this town hall-style debate

9:21:  ”Senator obama has never taken on the leaders of his party on a single issue.”—John McCain 

9:23:  Barack spent $3 million for an overhead projector at an aquarium in Chicago?!? For real?  I gotta check the facts on that one. 

9:24:  McCain just said that he thinks he could work on all 3 of the issues at once, but yet he couldn’t even run a campaign and weather the economic crisis at the same time????? 

9:28: If Tom Brokaw reminds them about the time limit ONE MORE TIME!!! If it’s that big of a deal, do your job as a moderator and cut them off at 1 minute! 

9:29:  Spending freezes NEVER WORK, McCain 

9:30:  ”We can attack healthcare and energy at the same time…”—John McCain   AGAIN…you couldn’t even multitask the campaign and the economy.  GIVE ME A BREAK! 

9:33: Tom Brokaw is starting to piss me off! 

9:34:  “That’s using a hatchet…I wanna use a scalpel so that people who need help can get it.”–Barack Obama

9:35:  LOL!  John McCain thinks he’s on ComicView!  That economic plan joke was kinda funny though! 

9:39: “Senator McCain, I think the StraightTalk Express lost a wheel on that one.”—Obama   ROTFLMAO!!!!

9:40:  Random Facebook Friend Status Update—”[Blank] is moderately confused this debate around…evasion and obscurity seem to be themes here…*sigh*.”  

9:43:  Now, THAT was an EXCELLENT question!!!!! 

9:44:  If John McCain says “my friends” ONE MORE TIME!!!! 

9:47:  Maybe he shouldn’t be such good “friends” with the moderator Tom Brokaw

9:48:  Did he just call Barack “that one” ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? 

9:49:  If I had a dollar for every time McCain says “my friends.” 

9:51:  Tom Brokaw is annoying the HELL out of me!!!! 

9:54:  Attention Presidential Candidates:  ANSWER THE QUESTIONS!!!!!!! 

9: 55:  ”You know like hair transplants…I might need one of those myself.”—John McCain   That wasn’t funny.  At all. Not even in the least bit.  Wait let me think about it some more. ……..Nope still not funny. 

9:56:  At least McCain is referring to him as “Senator Obama” now instead of “that one” 

 10:02:  “We don’t have time for an on the job training, my friend.”—John McCain   OUCH

10:09:  Now THAT’S what I call a question, Katie Hamm! 

10:10: My friend just told me on Facebook that he’s been taking a shot every time McCain says “my friends.” HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! 

 10:19:  Hmm…I wonder what PALIN is doing during this debate?

10:20:  McCain has a good point about Vladimir Putin…that’s one crazy/scary dude!!!!! 

10:23:  Those poor audience members look SO BORED! 

10:29:  Random Facebook friend status update:  ”[Blank] looked into McCain’s eyes and saw three letters: a W, a T, and an F!”  

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!! 

10:29: I believe we should have direct talks with our enemies as well, Barack.  McCain DOES has a point about the preconditions though. 

10:32:  MICHELLE OBAMA IS SOOOOOO FLY!!!!!!!! 

10:35:  ”And you’re in the way of my script there, would you move.”—Tom Brokaw   ROTFLMAO! I’m crying my eyes off!!! 

10:37:  So break it down for me.  Who won tonight?  Let me know!!! 

Thanks for joining in the conversation!
