A little over two hours to go the pre-game shows are already going on all the cable networks.

Suggestions for any drinking games?

Would it be smart for Obama to start with an opening statement that contains some language around McCain's change of campaign tactics and mention that McCain will attempt more smearing tonight, but I (Obama) am going to stay above those tactics because the current economic conditions are too important to middle class families to focus on petty attacks....?

I sure hope he does it will take the air out of any attacks McCain has planned.

No. Why would he need to mention it?

And the CNN radar is crazy loving it, unless they've changed how it operates since last time.

Edit: They have!  And now it's super-useless.

How did they change it?  C-SPAN and CNN aren't working for Lunar's Comcast.

Any place on CNN's site to see the radars, for those who don't have either an HDTV or HDCNN (got a sony bravia, just not CNNHD).
