Don't want to watch the debate at home? Here's where to go in Alaska

Looking for a place to watch the presidential debate with a crowd tonight? Depending on your political persuasion, there are plenty of options across Alaska.

In addition to dedicated debate-viewing parties, numerous sports bars in Anchorage are also planning to show the debate, including Buffalo Wild Wings, The Peanut Farm and Bootleggers. However, those are sidebars to the main event — the New Orleans Saints versus the Atlanta Falcons on "Monday Night Football."
