I'm concerned that I might not have the stomach to actually
watch the debates. I''ll be so stressed about the outcome and so paranoid that every word out of Kerry's mouth will be twisted by the right wing noise machine, and so angry at what I expect to be biased, media-whore questioning, that I actually might not be able to watch them, without serious harm to my blood pressure. Quite simply, my heart will be in my throat the entire time, and I will prbably feel like strangling someone when the debate is over.
Since I don't need to watch the debate to decide who to vote for, and since watching it will likely be an excrutiating experience, I'm considering skipping the debate, going out, having a couple beers, and then returning home after the debate is over to read about it on Kos.
Am I wimping out, or is it acceptable behavior to blow off the debates in order to preserve my sanity?
