[patrice]

4. So thoughtful! Thanks!

[doublethink]

5. No problem enjoy !!

[nolabear]

9. Yes thanks for that. I forgot.

[MerryBlooms]

2. Oh mercy, David Gregory. Ugh, I can't stand that guy.

[doublethink]

3. He goes right to the Native American thing ...

Gregory is a hack.

[MerryBlooms]

7. That man has no business calling himself a journalist -

the companies that hire his sorry ass, are not a friend to liberals.

[DURHAM D]

11. He actually went after Brown pretty good.

I hope all of my friends in Oklahoma are watching this, especially the Republicans. They are livid about this accusation given that so many of them have the same family history.

[MysticLynx]

50. I acknowledge I have a personal bias-

so what I think I see in the debates may be due to my personal perceptions.
But there are a few things I have noticed and hope someone here has Tivo or something and will be able to review the debate and verify if what I think I see is really there.

1) The moderator seems to allow Brown much more time for responses than he does Warren
2) He seems to be cutting Warren off much more often
3) He seems to rather condescending to Warren and ask stupid questions like 'the do you believe him calling your Professor' clap trap but not allowing her the time to 'correct' the misrepresentations that Brown has made about her record and always allowing him extra time to 'defend' his voting record.

If someone has tivo can you please do an accounting of the time each is allowed to speak, and the number of times he 'cuts off' Brown versus the number of times he cuts of Warren. How many 'follow up' responses does he allow Brown versus how many 'follow up' responses he allows Warren. I think I see a pattern here but again it may just be a product of my personal bias be nice to have some 'data' to see if my perception of the debate matches the reality of it.

6. Does anybody care about this Native American thing?

I mean David Gregory picked this as the topic to start off the debate with.

[trof]

8. STILL the Indian thing? Is that all he's got?

jeez

[nolabear]

10. Oh Sweet Jesus, the Native American thing. Brown is such an ass.

SUCH an incredible ass.

[patrice]

12. Do people WANT to select someone who counts his own "mistakes" as less than those of others?

[nolabear]

13. Whoof. This is really nasty.

No issues, just character assassination.

[patrice]

14. Money only affects decisions, when someone else is making those decisions, Scot?

[nolabear]

15. OMG I cannot believe how he's trying to assassinate her character.

She's hanging in there but DAMN.

[patrice]

16. Brown wants you to think that WHATEVER the other legal hypotheses were they would have prevailed in

the asbestos and coal cases.

[trof]

17. "Elizabeth Warren appears to inch ahead of Scott Brown in new Globe poll, 43 - 38"

http://www.boston.com/news/politics/2012/09/29/elizabeth-warren-appears-inch-ahead-scott-brown-new-globe-poll/4u10XRyC5PmIPCkKsutsnN/story.html

"Inch ahead"?
A 5 point lead?
From a Boston Globe poll?

Brown is desperate.

[patrice]

18. Compromise with Republicans? Isn't she being criticized for compromising on asbestos & coal issues??

[nolabear]

19. She is at least trying to answer questions. But the questions aren't very substantive.

[nolabear]

20. Brown keeps saying he's "Independent". Really?

[patrice]

21. Nailed him!! Good work, Elizabeth!

[nolabear]

22. Nice score. Tying him to the GOP obstructionaist tactics with specifics!

[avebury]

23. Elizabeth Warren is really good!

She is articulate and great with the details.

[patrice]

24. Elitist dick!

[avebury]

25. Tough crowd for Brown.

[doublethink]

26. Not a student in her classroom !!! lol ...

WELL HE SHOULD BE ... because Elizabeth is taking him to school tonight !!

[nolabear]

27. "Excuse me; I'm not a student in your classroom, professor." Got booed.

I'm saying "Jesus!" more during this debate than I did in Sunday school.

[nc4bo]

28. Warren getting rounds of applause. nm

[nolabear]

29. Warren lowering the boom on RW extremist pledge to lower taxes for the 1%.

GO Elizabeth. She keeps staying he voted inlockstep.

[patrice]

30. Oil SUBSIDIES aren't "on the table", Scott, because of you.

[nolabear]

31. I'm beginning to understand the Warren for President sentiment. She talks about actual details.

[DURHAM D]

33. She is taking both David and Scott to school.

Also, she clearly has more supporters there than Brown does.

[nc4bo]

34. Yes she does. I can easily envision her as POTUS one day.

[patrice]

32. Scott says Oil Companys don't use profits for bonuses, so increased taxes on them are on you. nt

[nolabear]

35. At the break, and I'm exhausted already.

She's really good. He's really screwed.

[patrice]

36. Invest in the future vs. Piss . . . uh, I mean, trickle down. nt

[patrice]

37. They don't know what's next because THEY fucked-up the financial sector, Scott.

[patrice]

38. Children of undocumented immigrants under the age of 35 & completing 2 years of college/military

[nolabear]

39. Brown getting booed again on Dream Act.

[nolabear]

40. My God she's brave. Wants troops out of Afghanistan before Obama timeline.

Good on her! AND gets in a shot about her brothers serving.

[patrice]

41. And if it's President Romney, Brown supports staying in Afghanistan.

[nolabear]

42. AGAIN he says he's an Independent.

[patrice]

43. Somebody should ask Brown how many $$$$$$$ a failed foreign state, e.g. Afthanistan, is worth.

[nolabear]

44. I say Elizabeth wins. He got a bit less petulant but she was class, style and intelligence.

Look for great things from her.

[nolabear]

45. AAAAAND in the final statement he calls himself an Independent one more time.

[patrice]

46. GOOD close, Elizabeth!!!! "the hard votes" aren't FOR us; he votes with the 1% on that stuff. n

[patrice]

48. P.S. All, just like your "moderate" Republicans here in the state of Kansas, btw. nt

[Thrill]

47. Put someone who will fight for the middle class in Ted Kennedy's old seat

[nolabear]

49. Amen and amen!
