Do yourself a favor kids and tune in to the debate. We're cynical about these sorts of things, but it's hard to imagine there will be better TV this week.
We were thinking about watching on PBS, since NewsHour's Jim Lehrer is moderating and he is a god among men (and an honorable Texan, yee-hah!), but the fact is a co-worker of ours described Anderson Cooper as "America's Boyfriend" earlier today, and we were so in LOVE with the term that it, combined with our longstanding newscrush on Campbell Brown and the truly demented character of their programming in the last day means we will probably be tuned in to CNN. Unless our cable goes out. Which, it's rainy in Brooklyn tonight, so who knows.
Hey, weird. The Obama camp is saying via text to watch the debate on CNN also. You think Paul Begala's got something up his sleeve?
UPDATE: Ahhh.... maybe that's why they want you to watch CNN.
So what's in it for the Obama camp to watch this? Seems like he's doing OK here wooing Independents, not so much with the Republicans... Looking to bolster his creds with the swing voters perhaps...? Or maybe CNN's just sweetening their feed to make McCain look like he's made eggshells and dustbunnies. 'Cause that's what it looks like to us. Whatever, all we know is: CNN made debates more like Guitar Hero!
