Sadly, I will be at work until 11pm tonight and won’t be watching the debate until the miracle that is TiVo allows me to once I get home, just as was the case during the last debate (sad face). I know quite a few people were doing the Presidential Debate Drinking Game and, upon Salon posting the newest one earlier, I was curious to see how many of you partook! If you’re interested, come see the second version
I sort of wish “candidate stutters to cover up misspoken statement” or “candidate clearly wearing too much makeup” were added (sorry, Obama, but your makeup artist needed to chill out last time). Nevertheless, these sound like pretty rational assumptions of what’ll occur tonight. Although I desperately hope nobody brings up Donald Trump; I hate seeing close-ups of the guy. His hair gives me agita.
I’m not actually a big drinking game person and I tend to just get sort of sad if I mix drinking and politics, so I doubt I’ll be doing one of these. However, I think it’s pretty amusing the amount of people who do and the games they come up with.
So, Lovelies, if you’re watching the debate, do you plan on (responsibly!) bi-partisan boozing it up?

Take a shot every time Romney said “God”

How is “Down your entire flagon of ale when Mitt Romney cuts off the moderator.” not up there?
Also, Jezebel’s Ultimate Presidential Debate Drinking Game for Ladies had the best rule: “If either candidate mentions equal pay, take 77% of a shot.”

I think I would have to get drunk just to watch a whole one of these things, then use a game to maintain the intoxication.

Under Romney’s list, they should have added, “In my state of MASSACHUSETTS.” I swear he ALWAYS has to mention “his state” in every question asked to him.

@pick_my_friggin_nose@xanga - Well, receiving whole states was part of his college allowance, so it only makes sense!
