2008 Election Presidential Debate #1

The debate will go on!  John McCain has agreed to debate Barack Obama tonight as originally planned.  Want to make it more fun?

Check out Twitter’s Election site to see real-time public opinion on the 2008 election – and throw your opinions in (as long as they are 140 characters or less) as well.  It’s addicting to watch all of the tweets scroll through.  People post their opinions, links to election related items and there’s even a drinking game centered around McCain and Obama related tweets.  Fun fun!

Play Presidential Debate Lingo.    It’s just like bingo but it’s related to candidate buzzwords such as global, Iraq, Alaska and crisis.

As long as we’re playing games – and drinking – why not play the Presidential Debate Drinking Game?  Get some Newcastle (my choice) and a few of your politically minded chums and give it a go.  There are a few to choose (here’s one more) from so pick wisely – or not.

So who won?  Discuss!
