6. Maybe a bunch of them could attend the Iowa / Minnesota rivalry football game on November 14th...

... which happens to be the only game with an already scheduled time of starting at 7 PM CST, and hold up signs to hopefully get aired on television to tell viewers to watch the DNC debate (or at least record it on their DVRs) that is scheduled at the same time. Maybe find a way to get in a lot of portable TVs to take with them to watch the debate while they are watching the game too. Maybe holding up a sign saying that DWS should be fired for forcing them to make Iowans and other Americans to make these sorts of choices to screw up Iowans choices of getting information on the election with other important events in their lives too.

I wonder if the DNC under the DWS's leadership intentionally picked that date for a debate, knowing that it would likely clash with this game that so many iowans might watch instead of the debates that night to try and f with one of the first primaries (caucuses) in terms of debate exposure.

It's bad enough that now the rest of the debates are on weekends when there are more clashes with people's weekend other habits than watching TV even in prime time then, but then it looks like they might be even strategically scheduling the timing of debates on weekends too. December 19th is also a likely travel date for many other people, along with being holiday time for many other holidays other than Christmas then too.
