I can't bear to watch the debates. Anybody else?
Not just the VP debate, but all of them. I get worked up and nervous enough as it is. Watching the debates would put me over the edge. Anybody else feel the same way?

15. He weighs less than CC but he is like 8 inches shorter
Fielder should be on someone's offensive line.

6. I can't stand waiting for them to start. I don't know what to do with myself
while waiting. And no I'm not nervous. I can't wait to see Palin stand there looking like a moose in the headlights because she doesn't know the answer to a question.

7. I can't watch any politicians on TV anymore
The Republicans are such hypocritical sleazebags, and the Democrats, for the most part, respond ineffectively.

I plan to watch a DVD after I finish the job I'm working on. Let's see, Netflix has sent me "V for Vendetta" and "There Will Be Blood." Which one will serve as a better debate substitute?

20. I tried. The same overwhelming sickness which caused me to avoid television
for the last 8 years (to avoid Bush) is back. I am physically ill, witnessing the republican strategy machine in action.

22. I didn't watch the first one and I couldn't keep watching this one.
Sarah Palin makes Dan Quayle look like a rocket scientist. I really, really hate this woman nearly as much as I hate Bush. She is every bit the evil republican that he is.

I don't watch the debates because my mind is made up. There is no way in hell I am ever going to vote for McCain or believe a single word he or Palin says. So I prefer to avoid high blood pressure by avoiding the debates.
