In the interest of getting info up ASAP, I typed and published. I missed some things, but overall -- a terrific discussion between two sensible candidates with very different approaches, but they know the issues and make sense when they talk. It was so refreshing not to have to listen to Joe whine and filibuster throughout. Alan and Ned have obvious respect for one another -- amazing how the discussion went back and forth and a moderator was really not even needed because no one tried to hog the time and lie and misrepresent -- in fact, when Alan had used up his time, Ned offered him a couple of minutes to continue the discussion, rather than a Ned monologue. I thought that was TRUE bipartisanship -- respect for the other side, not owned by the other side.
The reason for all the commercials in the beginning is because Alan was stuck on I-95, where there was an accident, so they held it up -- and it also ran past the top of the hour. So if you recorded it, you'll miss the last two questions and closing after 8pm -- it will re-run locally on Sun AM on Fox 61 -- don't know the time.
I will go back now and correct typos, etc -- please remember, this is not a transcript -- best I could do -- I'm sure video will be available by tomorrow.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE DEBATE?

Kirby, thank you so much.
I had written down it was to start at 8:00, so by the time I tuned it, in was just ending and I was crushed. This is a great synopsis of it.
You're Great !
Top notch job Kirby!
I'm working on the video now.
Kirby,
I posted a comment on the last thread and you answered all my questions.
Thank you so much for doing this - I'm in Mass until tomorrow evening and have been dying to know how it went and what they discussed.
I hope people watched it - it wasn't publicized much.
Thanks so much for doing this. btw, the Massachusetts Irregulars are coming down to help with GOTV, starting Saturday in Meriden. See you then.
Great job. Thank you so much.
I didn't have a TV near me so I had to come here. Great job and thanks!
You know, to me, this is the best part of blogging. I remember when Paul Hackett was doing stuff with mean Jean, I would have loved to have access to something like this, so I just decided I'd be the narrator from here.
