A few cool debate resources as you watch tonight:

• MySpace and The Commission on Presidential Debates joined forces for MyDebates.com.
• C-SPAN's very cool Debate Hub.
• And remember, if you're tweeting the debate, throw in a #current tag and your message might make it on CurrentTV's broadcast of the debate.

My one negative pre-debate thought: this is probably going to be one of those things where John McCain says "my friends" and "time for some straight talk" a lot. My one positive pre-debate thought: McCain has such a deluded sense of his own ability at these things that he gets a false sense of confidence and starts saying stupid shit -- I just have this feeling he's going to have a YouTube moment tonight.
