Presidential debate drinking game
All the way from London! It's the Obama-McCain debate drinking game! A drinking game for the Presidential debate! Can't vote, can drink!
The voter questions, 'town hall' format makes it hard for the two candidates to get snarky and dish zingers. Voters, we hear, don't like it when candidates indulge in ad hominem attacks and get angry.
So despite the recent fetid tsunami of lies, smears, insinuations, half-truths, racism, and more lies as the audacity of hope battles the mendacity of fear, we probably won't see any bloody noses tonight.The strategy will be to connect, empathise, feel voter's pain, understand, care and if either of them can summon up a tear, or a chokey voice, even better.
But really, all voters want to hear about is the economy. In six months time, will they still have jobs? Pensions? Houses? It will go down to who sounds like he can deliver a plan to stop everyone having to eat roadkill and live in cardboard boxes. That's it. The rest is just bollocks.
Time for a drinking game.Drink when you hear
'Maverick'
'My friends'
'Wall Street/Main Street'
'middle class'
'bail-out'
'surge'
'Just doesn't get it'
'experience'
'change'
'reform'
'reach across the aisle'
'Washington'
'uh-uh-look'
'this great nation'
'difficult times'
'challenges'
'affordable healthcare'
'eco-narmic 9/11'
'REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION FAILURE'
'Fannie and Freddie'
'crisis'
'together we can do it'
'faith in our country and each other'
'with all due respect'
'you lying bastard'
'your mom'
If they hug at the end, drink everything in sight
