For those of us who cannot watch the debate tonight, while reading here must we endure
numerous cryptic posts like, "I can't believe he said that!!!"? (said what?)

Or 18 new threads that all simply say, "THAT ONE!!!"?

Is there any chance that those who are posting about the debate could actually take an additional 10 seconds to add something actually informative for those of us who are not watching?

While watching the debate simultaneously with tens of thousands of other DUers, might some consider that what they believe is their unique perspective is already being made a new thread by another dozen posters?

Just wondering.

3. Why not just watch it online?

Go to the link above and to the right side select C-SPAN2 live stream either in windows or real media

5. Some of us have dialup and watching online does not really work.
Waiting 30 seconds for 3 seconds of video to load makes for pretty choppy viewing.
