Round Two Debate Blogging #3

9:55 PM ... That's some of the best hair transplant debate humor I've heard in a while.

9:56 PM ... Lucky Obama jumped in there before Brokaw said time was up.

9:59 PM ... I think when you're the only one laughing at your jokes, there's a problem. ... (ed.note: 10:06 PM ... a number of readers say they heard one people laugh at this joke: Brokaw.)

10:00 PM ... I didn't realize that Brokaw would be so in the tank for McCain. I guess he's still the emissary?

10:02 PM ... Very solid turn of the question from Obama on Iraq/foreign policy. (I'm surprised Brokaw isn't cutting him off in the middle.) On the other hand TPM Reader JG, who says he's an Obama supporter, says I'm being too hard on Brokaw, he's just had a hard time controlling the time, but not unfair.

10:07 PM ... Is McCain suddenly running against himself? Saying we need a "cool hand at the tiller"? Someone who understands our limits?

10:09 PM ... Curious what people think. But even trying to judge this from the vantage point of an undecided voter, I don't get the sense that McCain is scoring many points in this foreign policy phase of the debate.

10:13 PM ... Has Brokaw ever interrupted McCain?

10:14 PM ... Green behind the ears? Guess that's a new metaphor. (10:23 PM ... Hmmm, learn something new every day. Readers are sending me links to this phrase. I thought it was 'wet behind the ears' and that you can be 'green'. Didn't know they combined.) On the other hand, saying how McCain's a loose cannon freak is pretty good.
