Presidential politics or playoff baseball

That's the choice that faces us.  The third and last debate promises nothing really new on the information front but it does open the door to significant style points.  Will one of the candidates make a crucial mistake or lose their cool.  As the President, Obama is somewhat limited in what he can say, as he can't say all that he actually knows about current situations.  As the challenger, Romney can attack, but he is not on solid ground in the area of foreign policy and has the possibly fatal flaw of taking everything personally.  What kind of global negotiator could he possibly be.

The seventh and deciding game of the National League championship series begins at 8pm.  This has been an interesting series with the Giants once again this year bouncing back in a playoff.  Played in San Francisco tonight with a raucous crowd,  this has the potential to be a great game.  One hour in, at 9pm, the debate begins.  If the debate seems real and gets tense, it will win. If the debate is the same as the last two,  baseball will share the time and the remote will stay busy.

Candidate and debate fatigue could set in here, and that's surprising at this crucial point.
