It's all-politics-all-the-time over here and I'm thinking that people are watching the debates the same way they watch the Emmy's . . .maybe people are taking even more advantage of the merged channel idea when it comes to political things because of the flurry of emails and blog posts and YouTube clips that pop up starting even minutes after the debate is over.
So the true political junkies could watch the debate on TV while fact checking and reading along with pundits and live bloggers on their laptop, then review key moments on YouTube, network websites, etc. the next morning. You can use your iPhone while you're stuck in traffic to post a snarky status update on your Facebook page, mocking whichever candidate you thought was more mockable.
In what was the most hyped VP debate that I can remember, did it live up to your expectations? A search on Google News for "VP Debate" yields 4,613 stories. I think the headline from the Boston Herald probably sums it up pretty well, "It's all substance, and no sideshow".
Out of curiosity, how many of you skipped the televised debates all together and just watching selected clips online the next day?
