I’m going to comment live on the debate - though not so much about what is said, but how the coverage is working. Some initial thoughts:
- It’s good to see that the cameras are taking a look at the opposite candidate that is speaking.
- One quality splitscreen so far, showing Senator Kerry seemingly agreeing with President Bush’s point.
- Two more splitscreens, both done perfectly. One before Bush requested an extension to speak, another where Kerry gets to rebut.
- What happened to the “sitdown”? I had thought the candidates would be sitting in a different setting? Senator John Edwards pointed out on the “Imus in the Morning” program a few days ago that this would be the case.
- Jay Tea at Wizbang! is liveblogging with lots more detail on the politics of it all.
