Haven't made your mind-up yet who to vote for to sit in the Oval Office next January? Tonight for ninety minutes Barack Obama and Mitt Romney will do their utmost to persuade you that HE is THE man for the job and that the other guy just doesn't cut it.

The debate tonight will focus on Domestic Policy. The topics covered will include the economy, healthcare, the role of government and governing. 

Mitt has had lots of practice lately (snigger) but I think that Barack is much more of a natural in front of the cameras and he certainly maintained good strong arguments during the Presidential debates with John McCain four years ago so my money's on him to at least hold his own against Mitt the Flip. 

If you have made up your mind (and let's be honest Mitt has done a pretty good job so far of convincing many why they shouldn't vote for him because, hey, he doesn't represent many Americans) you don't need to sit alone twiddling your thumbs or find yourself screaming forlornly at the screen. Instead why not join the rest of us here at Politicalgates for a round or two of the Politicalgates Presidential Debate Bingo Game? 

Taking part is easy peasy.

1) Watch the Presidential Debate (there is a live link at the top of this page). Let's hope for some unscripted moments!

Just to get you in the mood here's a preview about the debate:




2) Screenshot and save a copy of the following template.

Adapted using a template from Buzzwords Bingo

3) Print the template and find a pen.

4) Fill up a glass (or two) of your favourite tipple. 

5) When a word or phrase is mentioned during the debate cross it off your template and take a sip of your drink.

6) Down the rest of your drink/drinks when you fill your card and then call BINGO! in the comments. 

Good luck and enjoy the fun everyone!
