Sorry, stinky. Beat ya to it.

This is where we'll talk about the VP debate. Now if you'll indulge me, I kinda wanna set this up like a boxing match. Because reasons.

Some announcer guy: "In this corner, representing the state of Minnesota, Governor 'Tampon Tim' Walz!" *smattering of cheers and boos*

Same announcer guy: "And his opponent, from Cincinnati, Ohio, Senator JD 'Hilbilly Elegy' Vance!" *again, smattering of cheers and boos*

This spectacle promises to be ninety minutes (or so) of vocal jabs, political grandstanding, and political pandering. And it all happens TONIGHT at 9PM Eastern Time. Be there! (Or...don't. I'm not gonna twist your arm. lol) Oh, and it's hosted by CBS.

Considering that one of the moderators said that it was Trump’s fault that he was nearly assassinated, I’m sure the debate will be super fair and balanced.

so the other thread was unofficial?

JD won’t be afraid to take a break from embarrassing jazz hands to rip into the mods if needed.

If you mean this one, you'd be correct. Seriously, I didn't see anything else about the debate, including an official thread for it. Mods, feel free to let me know if I'm overlooking something.

Some people try to avoid CP's posts.

I like CrimsonPhamtom, actually. He's a decent fella. I just don't like the unbearably long quote trees that people make in any thread, regardless of the OP. Besides, the thread he made featured a story about the debate, not the actual debate itself. There is a difference, people. (Not to come off as condescending, but, well, you know...)

I won’t be satisfied with Vance’s performance if it doesn’t cause Tampon to either cry or have a red faced stroke of babbling rage. I believe either is realistically achievable.

And would be glorious.

They already said on tv last night that he told Kumswala he isn’t a good debater and those inside the H-W campaign said he is extremely nervous about it. Maybe the goof should have done a few interviews to polish up.

Do you think any votes will be swayed?

Probably not. If we've learned anything from this past administration, VPs are nothing more than eye candy...

You should have asked Ross Perot.

We're less than six hours away. I'd post some betting lines, but I don't feel like it. lol If anybody wants to "take over the thread" and do that, be my guest. All I know is I fully expect Walz to mention a few hoaxes and lies that are easily debunkable, like the "Invitro Fertilization Ban" thing.

lol, GC ... sick 'em! ... I doubt I stay up for this one .... 'course, ya never know with my arse...

I'd bet a bazillion Vance will slaughter jazz hand/finga bang, feller...

lol Thanks, man. And yeah, I agree. I'm confident Vance will conduct a "Symphony of Destruction" on Walz tonight, much to CBS' chagrin.

Twenty-two minutes away. Harold Ford, Jr. is the liberal analyst for Fox News' coverage of the debate tonight. I'm glad it's him and not Jessica Tarlov. (I canNOT stand her, even if she is a lot more pleasant to look at than Ford.)

100% agree.

Ford can be civil and not spew non-stop Dem talking points. He will defend the Dem side.

Tarlov's shrill voice spewing Dem talking points is annoying.

As soon as I said that, Fox News chose to bring Tarlov in for some pre-debate analysis. Good grief. Thank God for the mute button.
