Debate #1 Live-Blogging #2

9:29 PM: Bowles-Simpson has been rechristined!

9:31 PM: Obama rising to his game.

9:34 PM: Oil industry, “corporate welfare”. We’ll see pivoting off that tomorrow.

9:35 PM: “Time to end it.”

9:38 PM: I don’t think Romney wanted to say he needs a new accountant when it comes to sending stuff, doing business overseas.

9:39 PM: Romney’s ‘Big Bold Idea Is Never Mind’ On Taxes

9:42 PM: Obama’s approach in this debate is the anti-zinger. Substantive, generally not pressing arguments. He basically ceded Social Security and Medicare, said Romney and he basically agreed. Weird.

9:46 PM: “I don’t think vouchers are the right way to go.” Obama’s sort of rising to his game here.

9:47 PM: “What about vouchers?”

9:49 PM: Bill Clinton!!!!
