The Official PorchDrinking.com Presidential Debate Drinking Game
Story by:
Drew Troller
Tonight, the two men running for President will go head-to-head in Denver for a televised debate on domestic policy issues. According to the latest popular vote polling, it’s a dead heat (although according to the electoral vote, it’s already a landslide). While this campaign is not as exciting as the “Hope-And-Change,” “I-Can-See-Russia-From-My-House” quotes of 2008, the presidential debate tonight promises us a unique opportunity to see democracy in action and discern the ideological rifts between our candidates and our nation.
Plus, it gives us the opportunity to enjoy a brand-new all-original PorchDrinking.com drinking game. Grab a few cold ones, look up how to register to vote, and play along at home.
