9:00 PM: And here we go. Which is weirder? That Reid has to debate this goof? Or that there’s a good chance she’ll succeed him? Hard to tell.
9:02 PM: I remember there was an old yarn about Sen. Scoop Jackson, that if he’d given a fireside chat, the fire would have gone out. Reid sorta reminds me of that.
9:04 PM: Angle may be less articulate than Reid. It’s a challenge. But I think she’s risen to it.
9:07 PM: What? “They allowed 11 foreign countries to join that suit.” Foreign countries joined the DOJ’s lawsuit? What? Angle just said that. I don’t think our system works that way. See where this came from in the rightwing blogosphere.
9:10 PM: Angle: I’m happy to lie about Social Security again.
9:16 PM: The level of dishonesty in Angle’s discussion of bad issues of health care economics is breath-taking. And yet totally par for the course for the mainstream of the GOP.
9:17 PM: I must say, I think the moderator here is pretty good. Not a lot of grandstanding or hogging the stage but actually asks pretty pointed questions and then follows up when the debaters ignore him.
9:19 PM: Best moment of the night: Sen. Reid’s awkward impromptu discussion of mechanics of colonoscopy.
9:20 PM: Angle says she knows a company that has already laid off 5 employees because of Obamacare? Really? Which one?
