The Erwin Center is booked that night, and Bass Concert Hall and LBJ Auditorium are under construction.

That's how parties work. Reward the faithful. otherwise why would you register as a party member. Get over all this party bashing, that's how shit works. Loudmouth you sound like communists trying to get rid of capitalists and then wondering what happens when then economy goes to shit.

How 'bouts a big throwdown watch party in, say, Republic Square park? Maybe the Alamo folks can roll out the inflatable screen.

I'm gonna paint myself white and put on an old woman wig and see if they'll let me in as a Johnson.

I'm gonna go run on a treadmill in the same building as the debate, and watch it on their closed-captioned TVs. Does this building even have a room for a debate? Will they debate in the weight room, or in one of the racquetball courts?

bclm, I'd like to see you try to shut me up. Easy to talk trash on the internets, isn't it? Like me voting for Nader made a gotdamn bit of difference in 2000...about as much difference as the corporate approved candidates we're being given a "choice" of voting for in this election. I agree with you by the way. Keep the riff-raff out. People have already proven that they're unable to control themselves at presentations at UT.

I've called all my contacts for tickets to no success. I think this is reserved for big-time donors and politico types.

Not even poor people, just regular Americans and anybody that hasn't made up their mind on who they're going to vote for.

The problem I have with invitation only is that only the people that have spent a lot of money on Obama or Clinton's campaign will be invited and if they've already given money to support one or the other, they've made up their mind who they're voting for. I doubt Clinton and Obama people will be scouting Section 8 housing looking for people to invite to the debate.

Seriously, trancereducer, shut up-people in Austin have always hated him and voted against him. And youre probably one of the fools that voted for Nader in 2000. Seriously, I think *everyone*-right wing and left wing, have lost their minds in America the past few years. I think invitation only is the best way to go for this-I think if it wasnt, it would be a lot of hooting people disrupting the debate to give support to their side.

No. You stop whining, whiner.

Stop whining. You're lucky Texans are still allowed to vote after inflicting Bush on the rest of the USA.
