Update: Debate parties
Yes, there's a presidential debate scheduled tonight. And whether or not both candidates show up, people are preparing for the show as though it's the Super Bowl.
In a way, it kind of is. Or maybe more like a divisional playoff game. Nonetheless, if you haven't gotten your chips and drinks together, you have about 11 hours to get on top of things. And Decision '08 would like to know about the plans people are making.
So far, we've heard that the Green Bean will roll out a projector and a screen to watch the event; and two doors down on Elm Street, the upstairs bar at Natty Greene's will dedicate a few big screens and sound for anyone who wants to watch.
People are posting invites on Facebook, and a few have emailed us about their plans. Some, like Voterspeak's Phyllis Davis, are just watching at home.
"No plan to get together for me - I am afraid if it happens I might miss something if I have guest or a party!!" she told us in an email.
Others are staying in to have a little fun with the debate. And for the thirsty souls out there, you can even turn a debate into a chance to get really loaded.
Got any plans? We'd like to hear about them.
Update 1: Kay Hagan will have a debate party at campaign HQs across the state.
