The leaders are not very interesting I guess...noone is inspiring or will make a huge difference to be honest. We don't have the war issue really or the same economic situation as in the US so the issues are kind of bland. I will bet most people don't even know there is an election coming up!
I agree - our debate will be boring. I don't feel like anyone is proposing any real change or anything. And yeah we just voted about 2.5 years ago. I'll probably watch more of the US debate tonight than I will the Canada one...how bad is that?!

Yep I'd say so. It's on our news a lot because really, what happens in the US affects us because we're so close. Plus a lot of our media is from the US so we get Fox and CNN and MSNBC and all of that stuff too. It's hard to get away from the US election right now, it's everywhere!

There is actually a Canadian debate tonight between the leaders and our election is in 2 weeks. But it is honestly so boring!
Yeah, the next new G.A. is next Thursday (Oct 9, I think). Worthy sacrifice, though - I'm more interested in the dynamics between Palin/Biden than MerDer at this point!

Now, wouldn't it be fun if Jerry Springer were the moderator? jerry.gif

That's interesting. I guess it's somewhat unfortunate that we couldn't have an election any time we wanted in the last 8 years. :)

No kidding foshizzle.bmp

OK so does anyone know the time of the debate tonight? (I'm in Central Time Zone btw but can convert it if need be cheesy.gif)

I'm happy that you reminded me! I was kinda bummed today because Martin works late tonight and then goes to school and all my friends are busy. Guess I'll just grab a glass of wine and order in and watch the debate for my nightly entertainment! I am really interested in this one. Actually, for the first time so far I've actually been interested given Palin jumping in and switching things up. I used to work for the previous 2 campaigns (against Bush) but for some reason this one just never shook me up... not sure why. But now I'm really invested!
