Among them: BottleNeck Lounge; Cafe Presse; Central Cinema (hosted by the 37th District Democrats); The Department of Safety (Anacortes); Moe Bar; On the Boards; SOLO; Spitfire (hosted by "Lots of People That Support Obama"); Sport Bar and Restaurant...

Where are they going to be? I have a strand of pearls and I can drink a white whine spritzer if need be. I want to watch them watch this debate. I want to see the reactions of the people backing this unqualified shrew.

(From a previous argument...)

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/03/us/03immig.html?hp

"The latest arrest figures from the Border Patrol and a report released on Thursday by the Pew Hispanic Center indicate that fewer people are trying to enter the United States illegally and that the number living here without documents has declined."

Just called them to see if they were having anything. No dice. So where are the conservatives going? I want to get in on some conservative action tonight. It would be a blast.

It took about 20+ minutes to get a drink in the middle of the debate AFTER the line had died down a bit. It was a lovely place to watch but bring your patience....
