Trouble Viewing The Online Presidential Debates? Then You Need To Read This

I’m going to be brutally honest here: The YouTube Politics site just plain sucks. Some of you may have tried to view online live video there only to deal with choppy video that barely runs at 3 frames a second (no joke). It’s almost as if you need a quad-core CPU with 1GB of video memory just to view that site correctly – and that’s sad.

Well, fortunately there’s an alternative that works nice-and-speedy like it’s supposed to.

There’s one more debate to go on Monday, 22 October. Put this site in your bookmarks:

http://www.2012presidentialelectionnews.com/2012-debate-schedule/2012-presidential-debate-schedule/

You can watch the full previous debates there, and then when 22-Oct rolls around, a link will be dropped near the bottom so you can watch it live on a live video feed that actually works correctly.

This is how I’ve been watching the debates, and it works like it’s supposed to. I understand youtube.com/politics gave it its best shot, but.. the delivery of content was (and still is) beyond awful because of technical screw-ups. Way too much scripting, way too heavy on load.. it’s just bad. The link above on the other hand isn’t and works proper.
