Hope you're feeling better. I often suggest a shot of brandy, a shot of peppermint schnapps, & a shot of water. You can use ice if you want, but that's not how we do up here in northern Wisco.

Just a thought. What matters is the debate and the outcome and the amount of supporters there for either candidate, don't mean jack.

I've heard that the Obama supporters are just louder than Hillary supporters. Here's a trick, if you know where the cameras/mics are going to be, stack those areas with your supporters to make your applause seem louder. If you know where the cameras are going to be aimed at, stack those areas. This is not particularly uncommon or new to Obama. I've seen it in other, lower level campaigns before. Stuart,

I hear a lot more cheers for Obama positions than the other way around. I'm not there so I don't know for certain.

I’m not watching, but I think you are wrong about Obama “stacking the room” with supporters — “BackfromOhio” is live blogging at TalkLeft from the hearing room and says at 11:38 am: “Most audience comprised of Hillary supporters it seems to me.”

BackFromOhio notes this a couple of times in the thread and says that there appears to be some Obama supporters in the front, but more Clinton supporters.
