Time has been running live blogging of the debates by some of their crack correspondents. Tonight it was Karen Tumulty (whom I love), Jim Poniewozik, and Michael Grunwald. I love Karen Tumulty’s writing on the Swampland blog; she’s very funny.
Their running commentary is great, and highly irreverent. Poniewozik, in his closing comment, said, “By the negative frame in which this debate was set, both candidates succeeded at not doing what they needed not to do. Or something like that.”
It’s really fun to read. You should check it out.
