Have a Debate Watch Party
Dude, Michelle Obama just e-mailed me!
OK, so it was part of a blanket e-mail to anyone who signed up for such alerts on democrats.org. (NOTE: Pet Rock remains politically neutral in its bloggage. The only reason my e-mail was submitted to that site was because Pet Rock covered the DNC and needed to stay in the loop. Pet Rock wholeheartedly believes in not using its voice to push any political agenda, ever.)
She wanted to inform me (and the masses) about Debate Watch Party. Hmmm, I've heard of the "Party of Five" drinking game, am preparing for tonight's "Grey's Anatomy Guessing Game," and once watched Lawyer friend Steve drink a beer an inning during a playoff baseball game, but what exactly is a Debate Watch Party? Seems to me we'd want to stress coherency for this type of event, no?
In the latest use of the Internet to reach the masses, the Barack Obama people have created a Debate Watch Party. As have the John McCain people at McCain Nation.
They encourage people to gather as one (preferably within your own party, I'm guessing) to watch the debate, the discuss the issues and all that jazz. There's even a ZIP code finder to search for parties in your area. Impressive use of technology to reach the masses.
Again, Pet Rock doesn't care who you vote for. Pet Rock cares that you cast an educated vote.
Of course, whether or not this debate actually happens on Friday, that's a whole other story.
Rock the vote!
