Final faceoff – Obama/McCain debate

ABC1 continues its coverage of the US Presidential race with a live broadcast of the final debate.  I’m not expecting that this will provide the giggles that the VP debate did, but I’ll be watching.  After last night’s episode of Battlestar Galactica (we’re way behind in viewing – “last night’s” was Ep 4 of S2, Resistance) I won’t be surprised if Col.

There’s more, but to finish: “Oh, yeah, it’s so obvious I’m a Washington outsider.” Please, American voters, keep it that way.

Vice Presidential debate

ABC1 is showing the VP debate. It seems as though it is likely to run into Dr Phil time. It also seems to be less of a debate than a chance for each candidate to stroll out their stump speeches.  Instead of talking back to the television, I’ll do that here.  It will probably benefit nobody to read this…
