    It is on CNN, Sky News, BBC News and Fox News also...most of which are available here on various platforms. I'll Sky+ it on CNN and watch it in the morning.

    Wish Fox News would put up an EPG entry for it though so I could Sky+ it there as would like to have a laugh at how they are going to be "Fair and Balanced".

    Watching on CNN, they are still calling McCain a maverick and an expert in foreign policy. :rolleyes: Plus they mentioned McCain's name about 10 times more than Obama.

    Bad choice of words by McCain with him saying he hasn't been feeling well lately? :)

    Obama's on the attack. McCain seems very nervous.

    the chair is really trying hard to get the two to actually debate.

    It sort of destroys a debate when both sides dont want to say anything risky about the economy

    i lolled at the bears comments :D

    McCain is being clever telling people he will essentially punish big government when he gets in while Obama is promising to punish big companies.

    Wonder which one people hate more?

    He was probably trying to imitate Reagan's famous quip about his age in a debate. Failed miserably.

    Didn't McCain go way off on a tangent just there. He was asked what he would cut and ended up talking about investing in nuclear power.
