Commiserating, of course, is commonly done in pairs, but reaches ecstatic levels in large groups. Accordingly, one of the best ways we've experienced a connection to the election in general and the people of this town is to head out and watch the debates at one of the many planned and unplanned viewing parties in Austin TONIGHT.

In this case, make it the lipsticked underdog.

And because there's nothing quite like reveling in the democratic process with your fellow boozed-up Austinites—whether their affiliations lean blue or red—we're maintaining this list of places where you'll be able to catch the debates in a public setting. If we've missed any (and we're sure we have), let us know in the comments section!

McCain's campaign still asserts that if the mortgage bailout doesn't happen on Friday, he won't show up. But both Obama and the Commission on Presidential Debates say the debate is on. Whoever ends up debating on Friday (and you know McCain will end up there eventually, despite these shenanigans), the Alamo has got your back. Both Village and South Lamar locations will be showing the debate. We attended the Clinton/Obama debate at the South Lamar location and assume the set-up will be about the same. McCain and Obama factions will be split down the middle, although this being Austin, the Obama voters will most likely outnumber McCain voters. Laughing at bogus answers is encouraged, but yelling "You're an idiot!" to the screen might get you in trouble.
