Tonight's debate
I can't find coverage for it anywhere on the Net. Is it only available on abc tv?

I think so and ABC is even putting an embargo on the coverage for other networks of only a single 30 second clip each because instead of airing the debate live on the West Coast, they are going to tape delay it.

Hmph. That seems to make them a station of the 20th century. They need to get with the times.

This seems particularly stupid to me given the existence of YouTube. Won't any person on the west coast who wants to watch the debate still be able to before it airs PST? Or does ABC have "internals" on YouTube that show they lose less people to YouTube than they lose by airing the debate at 5pm PST? I guess the math must be favorable or they wouldn't do it.

Actually they're going to rebroadcast the debate tonight at 10pm on C-Span2. Check their listings for certainty.

Hey Bubba, What happened to your eye?

Bionicsoy et al.,
Thanks for the debate info. Here's what C-Span has on their front page:
"ABCNews is hosting a Democratic Presidential Debate with Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) & Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL). After the debate, we'll offer and then open our phones for your comments. Tomorrow, watch the entire debate on C-SPAN at 5:30am (ET)."
So, I'll catch it tomorrow.
As for the eye, an accident years ago. The good news it that there's hardly any difference between seeing with one eye and seeing with two.
The damaged eye isn't so damaged that I can't use it at all. With a special contact lens, I can drive with my right eye shut. But I can't read with it. So, it's there as a reserve were something to happen to my right eye.
I wear the patch because there's almost no iris in the left eye, which means the pupil is wide open and lets in too much light to be comfortable.
