Stretching The Debate

The just-aired Republican debate on Fox ran for one hour and a tad over five minutes. It took Incredible Wife and me one hour and 53 minutes to watch it, since we used our DVR to pause and discussed points regularly, and we played back some parts a few times.

How long did it take you to watch it? Your neighbors?

DVRs and Tivos have changed American politics in a very major way by giving us a better, richer, more complete debate experience.

And at the end of this technologically enhanced experience, we came away with an overwhelming winner that surprised both of us: Fred Thompson, with Mitt Romney as a good also-ran.
