Lord Stanley and Snack Food

  What can be said about the debates that hasn't already been said?  Check FB for your favorite debate drinking game.  Cook up some wings, grab a beer to drink with President Obama and finish it off with some delicious, sugary, straight-to-the-hips Hostess Zingers for Mitt!!  
   Tonight, for political junkies like me, is the Stanley Cup of politics.  Two candidates in the face off with one referee.  Two men on the ice until blood is shed or someone has to pull Mitten's foot out of his mouth.  
   Mittens has been practicing since August, and the President prepared when he could.  He has a country to run, after all.  The Romney campaign, and every right wing talking head in the nation have promised us that the debates are going to change everything for team Romney.  Question is: How many do-overs can one campaign get in a single election and still maintain even a modicum of credibility?  I'm thinking that Mittens has crossed that invisible line when he politely dismissed almost 50% of the US population.  Thankfully for him, his running mate, Mr. Charismatic Power Point, is only disregarding 30%.  Lucky us.
   Meanwhile, an exhausted President is reminding himself that he visited fifty states...it only felt like 57.  Give the guy a break.  He's in the dog house, no doubt for agreeing to do a debate on his anniversary.  Michelle's a great lady, but some things are sacred.  He's been preoccupied with trying to find a really, really good gift.  
   So here we go--it's almost time for the face off.  Only one man can hoist the cup; and his Tonight is game one of the finals.  As for me?  I've got beer at the ready in support of the President.  I've never cared much for Zingers, they're all sugar and no substance; plus--they leave a really bad taste in your mouth.  Debate refreshments matter.
