Debate the Debate (October 7)

[miraclesrule]

Personally, I prefer "My Fellow Americans"

Doh, I had a stress filled day at work and fell asleep watching the pre-debate stuff. Now I''m watching the rerun on C-Span.

I''m surprised no one has commented on the fact that Mac can''t walk and talk without getting short of breath

I know he''s older, but he''s huffing and puffing like he got off the stairmaster

Halfway through I can see why you say this debate sucks. Boring.

Rumor has it that McCain has terminal skin cancer with a life expectancy of 2-4 years. You won't hear anyone talking about it though.
I hope it's not true, but I wouldn't be surprised to find out that it is true. The more I hear about the large spot on his head that he has to cover up, the more suspicious I become that the rumor is true. But hey, we could die in a traffic accident on any given day, so it doesn't really factor into my decision making.

I've always found it fascinating that Tom Brokaw's upper lip never moves when he speaks. I don't think I have even seen his upper teeth. I know that's random, but I find myself drawn to his mouth just to see if I can sneak a peek of his upper teeth.

Aww, I''m so sad I missed this thread (again!). I neglected to realize that since we don''t have a TV, we would be watching the live stream of the debate on this computer, so typing on PS would be a bit difficult.

Glad all you ladies had fun!

That''s just creepy. I had a dream last night his cancer came back full force and he was dying. I woke up and read this!!

Ah... sorry, the chances of this being true are slim to none. If he has skin cancer that was terminal (melanoma), there is absolutely no way that anyone could predict whether he was going to make it 2 years or 4! People make up the most ridiculous medical rumors (not to imply that you are the person coming up with this, miracles). Melanoma is extremely aggressive and he would be undergoing intensive therapy that certainly would not leave him in any shape to campaign. And if they KNEW he had terminal melanoma, it is unlikely they would be counting his life expectancy in years.

Spot on his head? There are many benign skin lesions that people acquire with age, especially in the areas of frequent sun exposure. Given all of the talk regarding his age, I would be covering them up too if I were him. Silliness.

Haha. McCain was only on top on the Friends thing.

Too funny.

So he''s repetitive, but only on one "key" term.
