Politics Tomorrow Night's Presidential Debate
Posted by Amy J. Ruiz on Thu, Sep 25, 2008 at 11:37 AM
We're with the Commission on Presidential Debates: Tomorrow night's scheduled debate is ON, McCain or no McCain. (Hey Commission! We've got a rubber chicken we can overnight to Oxford, Mississippi, if you need something to put behind McCain's podium in his place.)
Meanwhile, our debate watching party is also on! We'll be a Roots Organic Brewing, the same spot where we watched Obama accept the Democratic nomination last month. That event was packed; plenty of folks saw the crowd and broke off to form splinter speech-watching parties at nearby homes.
But check this out: Roots just opened a large new event room, where there will be plenty of space for all you beer-loving political geeks. And we'll be inaugurating Roots' new big TV with the debate (so if McCain does show up, please refrain from angrily throwing beer glasses at the screen).
The debate starts at 6. Get there early to snag a spot and a beer before the action starts. Roots is at 1520 SE 7th, near Hawthorne.
