Well, it's probably better than watching it by myself, which was the original plan.

Next time, please check with my agent regarding publicizing my attendance at your event. Normally, I'd be issuing a C&D, but since we're all friends here...

anybody watching this in a public place with drink rather than, you know, sitting at home and watching a chatroom?

I'll be watching -- and blogging, so I won't be able to chat -- at Cafe Presse.

Worse comes to worse, this is just an hour long Obama infomercial... Too bad sherry Lewis is dead or they could have Lamb Chop stand in for McCain. (since the association of sheep with Republicans would be fitting)

Man, the best possible outcome would be: McCain doesn't show, Obama's fielding questions left and right, the whole thing looks like a White House press conference. Made of win.

If he doesn't show, they could just have a cardboard cut-out with pre-recorded lies. No one would notice the difference.

josh@3: a few of us will be at Spitfire.

The "You" in that graphics means "Those of you whose comments we approve". There are always people who get upset/frustrated because they don't understand why their comments never appear on the live blogs. Eventually they learn that comments from us commoners must be approved before appearing. And when there are a ton of comments flying by, it's inevitable that the moderators will miss good comments and approve lame ones.

@9 I'm going to bethere to help moderate the comments (and not slog) so the sloggers can focus on slogging. The hope is that all (or at least most) worthy/funny/smart comments get put through. I'll do my best.

@7

Quality point.

Original Monique and I will be potlucking and liveblogging at her place. We'll be drinking cheap champagne and inhaling Doritos.

I'm not watching unless Obama wins.
