The First Presidential Debate!

As I write this, the debate has just begun. Grab your alcoholic beverage of choice (non-alcoholic, if you’re underage or a Mormon) (ht: Democracy in America) and tune into a news network of your choice, including ABC, FOX, NBC, CBS, C-SPAN2, &c. If you don’t have one of those old-fashioned things, go to C-SPAN Debate Hub video or a live transcript on IRC at irc.gamesurge.net #election (link works for Firefox with the ChatZilla extension).

While I’m a bit too lazy to do this “live-blogging” thing the kids are all talking about these days (plus, it’s no fun with only one person, and Andrew’s not on the internets presently), I’ll point the interested reader to Democracy in America, where the colors (each color is a different correspondent of The Economist) are discussing the debate live.

I don’t expect to learn very much from the debate, but as always it is a good exercise in observing political theater.
