Sadly, I won’t be able to attend any of these parties, and I won’t even be watching the debate live, because we have a rule about not turning on the tv when our children are awake. So I’ll have to settle for recording the debate and watching it after the kids are asleep.

thanks for posting!
It’s always more fun to watch these things in a group.
I’ll put up a debate open thread tomorrow night for people who want to share their reactions.
