Anyone know of a good place to watch presidential debates? Preferably, somewhere I might be able to actually hear verses having the television muted in the background....

Heh from the safety of my own home.  Being a McCain supporter isn't exactly looked upon highly in this "open minded" town.

---------------------------
What's the point of trying to listen to iambic pentameter if the tv is muted?

i can just tell you whats going to happen now Lauren and save you the time.

They will hug and smile.

Knowing all the questions to be asked both their staffs have prepared their answers.

They will each say the other wants to raise taxes.

They will both cast blame on each others parties for the current economic situation.

There will be a few questions to make them look like "working class americans that can relate to everyone" to lighten things up.

They will each talk about their family and how they grew up in hard times.

at the end a few bitter scathing remarks they will hug/shake hands smile and chat as the camera pans off them.

each side will claim victory.

*yawn*

The Parkway and Cerrito Speakeasies will be showing the debates on the big screen! And they both serve beer, wine, and food. Plus, you're supporting a local, independent business!  (http://picturepubpizza...)
