I plan to be celebrating tonight's debate (which is finally on, now that McCain has deigned to participate) by setting up a table outside a debate watching party at my local community college, where I will be registering voters.

The head of my local Democratic party office says that this election will be decided by the youth vote. 80% of people under 30 are for Obama. But the biggest problem is that turnout for the under-30 crowd is devastatingly low - around 20%. We have got to change that if we're going to win. So please, please vote this year, and get as many of your friends to vote as you can! You can check your registration status here: www.voteforchange.com

My university is having a watching party and someone from MTV is going to be there (rallying the youth vote, I suppose) I'll be there.

I suggest taking a shot every time McCain says "my friends."

Ha ha! Get ready to lose McCain! Take yur little Palin doggy with you!

"I suggest taking a shot every time McCain says "my friends." "

Or hitting yourself 'till you pass out!Where else are you supposed to take out that aggression without winding up in legal trouble? OOOh, McCain vs Obama rugby!

Galapagos in brooklyn tonight!! I'm going with thesoymilkconspiracy my partner in crime here, heheee :)

Take a drink when:
McCain says "POW"
McCain says "my friends"
Obama says "community organizing"
Obama says "folks"
Either candidate says "change" (gunna get shitfaced, clearly)
Either candidate says the name of an average American
Anyone says "support our troops"

Take 2 drinks when:
Obama writes something down
Anyone says "maverick"
Either candidate displays fists of power or understanding (you'll know it when you see it)

And finally, chug whenever McCain does that creepy smile thing.

Steady and consistent drinking. They were both terrible debaters in the primaries, unless you're into "zingers".

Kate I love your drinking game, but I would add:
If McCain flips out and losing his temper and calls Obama or uses at all any racial epithet (or calls anyone the C-word), finish your drink, then jump up and spin around three times.

I'm hosting a Debate Party through My.BarackObama.com (if you're in Washington, anywhere near Lynnwood (98087), feel free to come over, as long as you're not afraid of pugs). I don't know yet how many people are going to be there, but the last time I hosted an event of this kind, people showed up and my living room was full of Barack Obama supporters. It was pretty cool to share with a whole bunch of people I didn't know the monumental event of the first African American accepting the nomination of a major party. I'm hoping the Debate Party (Barack Party part 2) is as successful as Barack Party Part 1.

I'm heading over to a watching party at my friend's house, where we'll be having wine and cheese, like the elitist east-coast liberals we are.

I may or may not bring some arugula.

I'm glad mcCain is going to do it, he is an american hero and cares about women's rights

I don't drink alcohol, but I figured I'd take some drinking game rules and replace the shots with Hershey's kisses. Believe me, I may just end up as messed up as the drinkers by the end of the night. :)

glad to see people are enthusiastic about the debate! i'm going to a watching party at my school, Hood College. we're also registering voters/ passing out absentee ballots there.

i am glad to see the enthusiasm over tonight's debate. i am going to a watching party at my school (hood college) were they will also be registering voters and giving out absentee ballot applications. this debate should be interesting to say the least!

I opened a new bottle of Russian vodka and sat down to watch the debate.
When I woke up, Cops was on..
What happened?

I was forced to drink several pints and then retreat to watch Tina Fey as Sarah Palin on YouTube. My yelling at the radio was getting really disruptive to those around me.
