Liveblog title suggestions needed!
All right, here's a question for y'all. What should I call tomorrow night's debate liveblog? The first one was called "Unsuspended Tour 2008: McCain v. Obama I," a reference to McCain's erstwhile "suspension" of his campaign and empty threats of skipping the debate. Last week, we had "Take no prisoners: McCain v. Obama II," a reference to McCain's threat (again, empty) to "take the gloves off" -- and, of course, his oft-repeated P.O.W. status.
In between those liveblogs, the Biden-Palin showdown inspired the title "Lipstick vs. The Pig: VP debate liveblog." Also, thinking back to the conventions, you might remember the "Obamessiah & Goreacle liveblog," the "RNC liveblog: Huck + Mitt + 9/11!," and the sadly-cancelled liveblog for RNC Day 4, which was to be titled "Grandpa McCain's Fireside Chat with America."
Anyway... I'm having trouble coming up with a good, pithy name for the final debate liveblog -- which, incidentally, will start tomorrow night at 8pm. I'd like to roughly follow the model of the first two presidential debate liveblog names (i.e., "Something something: McCain v. Obama III"), and the "something something" needs to be fairly short -- around 18-24 characters, roughly -- in order to make the title look good on the screen. Here are the options I've come up with so far:
Johnny Mac's Last Stand: McCain v. Obama III
Palling Around: McCain v. Obama III
Warmonger vs. Terrorist: McCain-Obama III
(Credit where due: I got the idea for the last one from Ambinder.)
I'm open to better ideas, though. In particular, I'm trying to come up with something that uses "POW" and/or "ACORN," but I haven't hit on the right name just yet. So, if you have any suggestions, fire away!
