I'm also looking forward to the focus groups of "undecided" voters from some swing state (Ohio, perhaps?) that will tell me what issues were important to them during the debates and the media narrative that will result from it.

Fox News: McCain is the clear winner here.
Olbermann: There you have it ladies and gentlemen, Barak Obama wins the first presidential debate.

I'm also looking forward to the meta-analysis that we'll get from the pundits after the debates, asking questions like "So who will we be saying won tomorrow?" or "What moments from this debate will we be talking about tomorrow?" or "What narrative will we be discussing tomorrow?".
It throws me into a state of bewilderment and confusion every time they do that (and I guess I like being in a state of bewilderment and confusion).
I mean, isn't it an admission that they have no control over their analysis and merely repeat what others are saying.

But back to your comment. Why would he get a strike for stating the obvious? At 15 or 16, having a kid isn't a "present", unless you're a celebrity with enough money and nannies to birth 25 babies at once with no foreseeable problem, it's a result for being stupid and not using protection. No kid, unless warped by their environment says at 14 or 15 or 16 "Yay! I'm pregnant!"

No, I would prefer to watch it on MSNBC but I don't have them in HD and I just saw the features CNN is running.
They just have some cool features, does FoxNews have anything that compares?

I don't get FoxNews...
I just made the connection between this vid and you "memo" comment a few posts later and chuckled. Thought I'd throw it up.

Senator Obama's phrasing was poor to call the baby a punishment.
A baby outside of marriage is consequence of premarital sex- yes. It is the parents of the baby's fault; in no way is the baby to blame.
And never, according to my belief, should the baby be aborted in order to "fix" things.

I figured that's who you meant. That guy is such an idiot. I tried watching Fox and Friends. It's unwatchable. Those people are so dumb. After the SNL opener, Ducey actually said something like, "That can't be legal can it?"

The CNN HD feed has that pundit barometer. I don't think I can take that the entire debate. Switching to PBS HD.
