Cardin vs. Steele on MTP -- liveblog
Update [2006-10-29 12:52:30 by Ross Smith]: Well, it looks like Steele provided a lot of fodder if Cardin's people can use it in the coming days or in their spin. But in the debate itself, the snap judgement here is that Steele was much better. Add your own analysis.
Here it is, the last of this season's Meet the Press debates.
Based on the preview, expect a lot on stem cells, the Iraq war, and maybe even some "gotcha on the gotcha's" concerning metro line locations.

Cardin vs. Steele - Meet the Press Debate Preview
The Meet the Press Senate Debate series comes to a close tomorrow morning with a debate that once seemed an anticlimactic ending to the series. NO LONGER! Tomorrow's MTP debate between Benjamin Cardin (D) and Michael Steele (R) could not come at a more pivotal time. The two are locked in a surprisingly tight race which Charlie Cook has moved from "Lean Democratic to Toss Up." Over the past week the race has received national attention stemming from Michael J. Fox's television ad supporting Cardin and the subsequent furor ignited by Rush Limbaugh.
In a pre-debate interview with an NBC affiliate in Baltimore, moderator Tim Russert pitched the MD-Sen race as a "battleground" and pledged that:
If Mr. Steele or Mr. Cardin refuses to answer the question, I will make that very clear to the viewers. My job is to elicit from these candidates their specific, exact positions on these issues.
All indications are that the debate will last the full hour which should give Russert plenty of time to accomplish his goal.
