Debate: Live chat and open thread
posted at 7:05 pm on October 15, 2008 by Ed Morrissey
Tonight we have the final presidential debate for the 2008 cycle, and if you’re in the Twin Cities area, we have some party ready for you! AM1280 The Patriot will host a debate party at Trocadero’s in Minneapolis tonight. The Northern Alliance Radio Network will emcee an evening of fun and politics, including my radio partner Mitch Berg, Power Line, SCSU Scholars, and Fraters Libertas. We’ll have free appetizers and a cash bar. The debate goes from 8pm CST to 9:30pm CST and doors will open around 7:30pm. Admission is free – but please RSVP at the handy AM1280 RSVP Page so we can plan accordingly.
You won’t miss anything at Hot Air, either, if you’re not able to make it to the party. We’ll have a live chat room running during the debate, with Jazz Shaw and Lady Logician moderating a cast of thousands — literally! Since the live streaming has interfered with the operation of the blog for some Hot Air readers, we’ll skip that and stick with the chat room.
I’ll also make a post-debate appearance on the Hugh Hewitt show at 10:30 CT to discuss the night’s events and their implication for the election. And yes, I shamelessly recycled the first two paragraphs of this post from my pre-debate analysis. I’m all about efficiency, baby!

Mac is trying to make Bambi bring Ayers up first.
pugwriter on October 15, 2008 at 9:32 PM
I’m sure it’s unintentional, but he’s revealing Obama’s glass jaw in spectacular technicolor. Obama’s coming off like a child, a whining little baby boy.
Rational Thought on October 15, 2008 at 9:32 PM
Wasn’t Lewis a disbarred judge still didn’t repudiate, now the girl was bein mean to Barry WWHHHHAAAAAA
dhunter on October 15, 2008 at 9:32 PM

Why hasn’t McCain tied Obama to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? I keep waiting and waiting for it, and it just isn’t happening.
McCain, please, please.
bonnie_ on October 15, 2008 at 9:33 PM

carbon_footprint on October 15, 2008 at 9:33 PM
I hope McCain has a real salvo to fire at Obama
electric-rascal on October 15, 2008 at 9:33 PM
No Barry ~ I want a man of character that I know is going to make the right decisions for myself and my country.

custer on October 15, 2008 at 9:34 PM
This has the worst segment ever, both candidates whining that the other side is too many running attack ads.
And I loved Obama rambling on for 5 minutes, that was priceless.
Cr4sh Dummy on October 15, 2008 at 9:34 PM
LOL T-shirts!! Go Mac

iam7545 on October 15, 2008 at 9:35 PM
Obama is desperately searching for a teleprompter.
Guardian on October 15, 2008 at 9:35 PM
He keeps bringing it up….McCain needs to take him up on it. Ayers.
HornetSting on October 15, 2008 at 9:35 PM

Um, you don’t “solve” wars, you “win” wars, Obama
common sensineer on October 15, 2008 at 9:35 PM
This is not Bambi’s kind of format.
pugwriter on October 15, 2008 at 9:35 PM
He’s got a right. “Sarah Palin is a C**T”
I’d be pissed, too.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on October 15, 2008 at 9:35 PM

electric-rascal on October 15, 2008 at 9:36 PM

Bikerken on October 15, 2008 at 9:37 PM
Here we go. Ayers is a F*****g professor!
Star20 on October 15, 2008 at 9:37 PM
Obama has got to be the most arrogeant, asshole on the face of politics- Mac HAS to take him to the floor on this!
anniekc on October 15, 2008 at 9:37 PM
Ayers is the centerpiece Barack, because that’s what you keep LYING about.
RBMN on October 15, 2008 at 9:37 PM
O’s been waiting to give this canned speech about Ayers..
dmarie on October 15, 2008 at 9:37 PM
McCain should slam that 8-year old crap into his face!
electric-rascal on October 15, 2008 at 9:37 PM
Wow.
Obama was *SMIRKING*, nearly laughing aloud, on the split-screen, while McCain was talking about how serious the ACORN voter fraud thing is.
That’s really, really not going to play well, I think.
ClintACK on October 15, 2008 at 9:37 PM
Ayers washed up old terrorist, Acorn corrupt and got 800,000 from Barry
dhunter on October 15, 2008 at 9:37 PM
Dear Mr.Bishop – I find you very attractive – why so angry Mr. Bishop?
jake-the-goose on October 15, 2008 at 9:37 PM
Does anyone notice any hiccups on the audio on FOX?
eaglescout1998 on October 15, 2008 at 9:37 PM
Ronald Reagan knew this nice Mr. Ayers! Leave me alone!
common sensineer on October 15, 2008 at 9:37 PM
Obama just made a big mistake by going back to revisit the Ayers subject.
John let you off the hook moron.
forest on October 15, 2008 at 9:37 PM
He said it EIGHT YEARS OLD…BUT I WILL WORK ON HIM WITH A SOCIALIST SCHOOL BOARD!
You started your career as an empty suit in his living room.
Acorn….register voters…uh, uh…
HornetSting on October 15, 2008 at 9:38 PM
Go John! $832,000 for lighting to ACORN!
Now mention the radical education so this isn’t about guilt by association.
NightmareOnKStreet on October 15, 2008 at 9:38 PM
Come back at him on Ayers McCain – don’t let his wussy explanations stand!!
electric-rascal on October 15, 2008 at 9:38 PM
The Trib leans to the right?

jp on October 15, 2008 at 9:38 PM
Anyone know how long this debate is scheduled to last?
dmarie on October 15, 2008 at 9:38 PM
Barry’s swallowing hard, and making “liar big eyes” on ACORN
anniekc on October 15, 2008 at 9:38 PM
Yes, LETS get the record straight…
…so, there were a bunch of academics and liberals on the Annenberg board. DID YOU OR DID YOU NOT START YOUR POLITICAL CAREER IN AYERS’ LIVING ROOM?
uncivilized on October 15, 2008 at 9:38 PM
