GOP in NH Liveblog, 6/5/2007

Join us in the comments section here as we catalog our reaction to tonight's debate.

You do have to be a registered user and log in, but it is free.

As an addendum to the preview thread let me predict here and now that Wolf wastes time on evolution since Brownback felt compelled to do a NYT op-ed after the earlier debates. Science issues are good. Evolution is just one more proxy for abortion, stem cells, and GLBT.

And in the least surprising development in debate coverage history, Lou Dobbs is beating the amnesty angst drum in the CNN lead in show.

And now for the debate . . .
Update [2007-6-5 18:59:35 by Ross Smith]: Just in the nick of time Dodd's campaign folks pass along a talk clock for this debate!

Excuses, Excuses

Advice for candidates: go to the bathroom before the debate and make sure there's a fresh battery in your hearing aid.

According to the AP
, inability to hear and a need to pee were Tommy "Not Fred" Thomspon's excuses for giving an answer that was the opposite of what he says he intended in the GOP presidential primary debate at the Reagan Library. Thompson and his campaign have spent the past week digging out of the hole of his apparent rejection of GLBT employment rights.

Compare the cost of a hearing aid battery and a decent debate coach to the cost of lost campaign donations.
