The 500 Club at 17th St. & Guerrero will be showing the debate as well. 4 flat screen HDTVs, bar snacks, drink specials, Polaroid photo booth, and a lovely bartender. (Also, the carpet there has been replaced with beautiful hardwood floors - come see the new look!)

those-who-laugh-self-consciously-loud-at-Shakespearian-comedies-in-the-Embarcadero-Cinemas attendees written all over it. WTF Brock? Since when do young voters "laugh self consciously loud at Shakespearian comedies"? How old are you? McCain's age? Crypt keeper?

@murphastahoe: True, but come on, with the widespread ignorance blooming throughout this country, do you really think most people know this? It looks like cowardice, pure and simple, even to the slack jawed morons who think Obama wants to take away their right to hunt (seriously, someone on NPR this morning cited this as a reason for voting for McCain).

I watched the 2004 elections roll in at Valley Tavern - clearly the Valley Tavern is bad luck. And by the way guys - this week's debate (if it happens) - is on Foreign Policy, not the Economy.

The Mix (by 18th & Castro) usually tunes into any political broadcasts. though you may have to stay in the front section, where the biggest widescreen tv is to actually hear it.

I dunno about the debates, but I watched the 2006 elections roll in at the Valley Tavern, 24th @ Noe. Good to know the Page will be showing all this.

Careful not to run the light and slam into a parked car on the way, TAYM. The Page is always a good spot.

Wonkette says the debate is back on. I think I'll check out the debate at The Page. They have 21 beers on tap and it's a mere hop and a skip on my new chainless track bike...

I will be appearing at the Mucky Duck, in blackface, as Barack Obama. Anyone want to volunteer a grandparent with dementia to debate me?

Yancey's has wifi. But the place actually smells like John McCain

I wonder if Yancey's or Fireside will show it?

But he's still on Letterman tonight. The economy can't be that bad.

The great patriot John S. McCain has suspended his campaign and has requested that the debate be postponed so that he can save us from the financial crisis. Now we can go to the bars for all the right reasons on Friday.

2 Lips Bar and Lounge on Market Street will be showing the debate. There are 3 flat screens and $2 beers to fuel the fire during the debate. Plenty of political junkies will be there. 1414 Market cross is Tenth.

Suppose Kezar Pub may have jumped that gun then... Rumor has it they'll be showing it.

Considering Coward McCain is attempting to delay the debates (because he knows Obama can bodyslam him on the economy), any bars or lounges who have scheduled a watch party may have jumped the gun. Bah, this ticks me off. Obama better not agree to this.
