I stuck with straight-ahead news-channel carriage of the debates for my liveblog Friday night, so I didn’t have a chance to check out the broadcast on Al Gore’s Current TV, which included “tweets” from Twitter by Current viewers. But Current PR was helpful enough to send some along:
*McCain was afraid to make eye contact with Obama
*Wall Street vs. Main Street. How many times will we hear that tonight?
*This is the coolest way to watch a debate ever
*The candidates seem afraid of each other tonight
*Generic debate so far. They won’t even look at each other.
*We owe China $500M because they fund our war and stock our shelves at Wal-Mart
*McCain is a leader. Obama is an organizer. End of discussion. We need a leader.
*U.S. respect abroad is the major security issue, Obama get’s it, McCain doesn’t!
*ha ha ha McCain is so funny. His jokes are just like my grandpa’s.
*Let the debates begin! :-O Too bad David Letterman couldn’t be the facilitator.
*McCain rocking the blue suit.
*Both are merely stating the obvious…do they have the same writers?
*Yes, we know you’ve “been around a while”, McCain.
*McCain has also been to Georgia. Also, Siam. And Byzantium.
And finally, the inarguable:
*Can’t wait for Palin/Biden – that will rock
