The Republican National Convention will take place the week of Monday-Thursday, 27-30 August 2012 in Tampa, Florida

The Democratic National Convention will take place the week of Monday-Thursday, 3-6 September 2012 in Charlotte, North Carolina

What parts of the Conventions are you planning to watch?

I tried to get all the scenarios possible on the poll.  If I have missed anything, please say so.
You may change your vote and you may vote for more than one event (up to 9).
This poll will run for 50 days, which is Thursday, 6 September 2012 (President Obama's speech).

Note if you vote Option 1, there's no need to vote for Options 2-11.

As for me, I will likely have to work Monday-Wednesday evenings both weeks (except for maybe Labor Day).  I will put what I can on DVR those evenings.  Thursday night, 30 August 2012, I will be watching College Football, so I will put Gov. Romney's acceptance speech.  I should be able to watch President Obama's acceptance speech live.

Honestly, the Keynote RNC (if its Christie) and MAYBE the RNC VP speech, especially if its Pawlenty for the humor/anguish of it.

I'll watch the DNC Keynoter, Obama's acceptance, Romney's acceptance, and Brian Schweitzer's speech.

I'll probably watch all of the DNC that I possibly can, while I'll probably check out the highlights of the RNC live and then proceed to get angry before changing to something else. Probably football! Smiley

Hopefully I'll be in Vermont doing better things during the RNC.

Definitely Obama/Romney, probably the VPs, and maybe the keynotes.  Depends on who it is and what else is going on.

Probably nothing, maybe some key parts.

Well, I suppose from your political PoV it is, but keep in mind ~1/2 the country really likes that sh**t.

Both will probably be on Youtube or CSPAN within a week, so I could watch any bits I want, but I'll probably be more inclined towards watching the Democratic keynote, and perhaps one or two more speeches.

Speaking of that, is there a listing for the 2008 speeches, or even a transcription of all of them?

I plan on watching all of it, but I would like to get MSNBC working on my TV in my room. If you roll in the bed, the cable goes out. Same for Fox.....I really don't want to get stuck with CNN for this one Sad

Likely the Obama/Romney speeches, the vp speech, the keynotes and I'd better see a speech from Ron Paul or an ally in the GOP Convention.

As much as I can for both, schedule permitting, which probably won't be much. Will at least try to catch the more notable speakers.

There is a good chance I won't watch any of them, but if I had to I'd watch the GOP convention just for the lulz.

You guys plan your tv watching weeks in advance? I doubt I'll watch either. I'm not interested in pep rallies.

I record anything that CNN International shows on my HDD recorder.

I'll probably watch Obama's and Romney's speech live @ about 2 or 3am I guess.
