So we've seen the first Presidential debate, and now last night the Vice Presidential debate...still want more? This Friday the second Presidential debate goes down and why not enjoy the banter with friends and cocktails. You can even play that drinking game a reader sugggested (found in the above link). Be warned however: Gothamist thinks that if you take a swig every time Bush pauses, doesn't know what a word means, or stumbles over his very own "original thoughts" or catch phrases...you may not know which party you support by the end of the night. But hey, it's on Friday, you'll have all weekend to nurse the political hangover.
So join The Nation Institute, Janeane Garafalo and Sam Seder of Air America'sThe Majority Report for a giant-screen, live broadcast of the debate at Crobar.
Air America will also be broadcasting live on-site with everyone from progressive writer Katha Pollitt to progressive actress Maggie Gyllenhaal.
The event takes place Friday October 8th @ Crobar [530 West 28th Street]. Doors open at 6:30 and admission is free until 8 ($10 after), so get there after work and enjoy some free food.
In the meantime Gothamist suggests you check out The Majority Report blog.
