In case you haven’t heard, tonight is the biggest, baddest and most important VP debate EVER.

And nothing goes better with big, bad and important events quite like drinking games. We at CC have created a drinking game worthy of the event, so grab your friends (bonus if they are on the other team…it just makes everything more fun), all the essentials, and get your political game on!

What you will need:

Beer: 2 kinds are necessary: a quality brew of your choice, and a blue-collar variety (we prefer PBR).

Vodka: Stoli, straight from Palin’s neighbor, Russia, is best

A stack of dollar bills: You know you’ve been storing your money under the mattress lately, anyway.

A cheap bottle of wine

A tube of lipstick

The Rules:

Every time Sarah Palin:

- Mentions Russia: take a shot of Vodka

- Dances around an answer/rambles on about nonsense: chug your beer

- Mentions her children: take a drink

- Mentions hockey moms/being a hockey mom: put on some lipstick and drink

- Makes reference to the inexperience of Barack Obama: chug your beer

- Mentions doing everything we have to do to protect Democracy in the Middle East: punch your neighbor and drink their beer

- Changes the subject from something politically relevant and important to something about the Middle East or Oil: drink while chanting, “AMERICA IS #1!”

- Mentions the Bridge to Nowhere: scream, “Thanks but no thanks,” and take a shot of vodka. Then tell everyone you didn’t take a shot of vodka.

Every time Joe Biden:

- Mentions Scranton, PA: chug your beer

- Mentions taking the train home every night: drink

- Offers reasons why he can identify with the middle class: chug a PBR

- Says something really dumb that could potentially ruin his career: drink

- Backs off out of fear of looking like a villain who hates women: call him a pussy and sip a glass of red wine (with your pinky up).

- Mentions Sarah Palin’s lack of experience: drink

- Looks visibly pained by the sound of Palin’s voice: take 2 shots of Vodka (and consider a few Advil, too)

Every time either candidate:

- Mentions the current economic crisis/bailout plan: make it rain and chug some beer

- Mentions “Wall Street and Main Street”: chug a beer (PBR preferred)

- Cuts the other one off: drink twice

- Bashes George W. Bush: put on some music and dance

The debate is on at 9pm tonight, so pack up the books and gather round the tele. This is gonna be good.

“Tom Anderson, 31, a MySpace founder, said, “MySpace has a method of reaching people who are historically not interested in voting” and may not read newspapers or watch news on television. He added: “A MySpace profile could excite their interest in ways they are used to. In the same way they learn about their friends, they could learn about a candidate.””

I’m not sure how I feel about this tactic, it seems sort of silly to me that candidates are setting up accounts on sites where typically it would be creepy for someone their age to be on. But, I can see the argument that at least it gets young people interested in the issues, even if they are just glancing at the pages briefly.

Here’s what I could come up with in terms of myspace pages that are up so far for each

candidate:

Barack Obama

Hillary Clinton

John Edwards

Joseph Biden

Dennis Kucinich

Mitt Romney

I personally think Kucinich’s is the most intense/cheesiest looking page…Check them out and see what you think!

Potential Pres on my network?
