Anyone following this? Saw the second debate, which was ruined by David Gregory being his usual assy self. Brown is in the lead in the last poll, but there's no Nate Silver doing poll by poll analysis. It's a tight race either way. I swear Brown's accent is fake.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I've been following it closely;  listened to the live feed of the last debate but not tonight's.

Scotty's running dangerously close to losing his "nice guy" image.

I think Nate Silver was right.  It's sad that in a year's time one of these two won't be in the Senate while Akin or McCaskill will :(

I heard he's 1/32 jerk.

In the second debate Gregory asked Brown if he was calling her "Professor" in a derogatory way. Brown said "absolutely not!" and then kept calling her Professor. At one point he said "Don't interrupt me, I'm not one of your students." At the end of the debate, when asked to say what he admired about Warren, he said "I have some friends whose kids were taught by Professor Warren and they said she's a great teacher." Basically he's trying to paint her as an unserious kindergarten teacher (hint: because she's a woman).

I've heard Brown will run for governor if he loses the race. I think he'd win much more easily than with the Senate spot, given MA's history of having moderate Republican governors and a Democratic congressional delegation.

Claire's not so bad, she's good people.  Unfortunately, she's in a crazier-than-a-shithouse-mouse state.

He's kind of a douche, for a male model.

Remember, they both want the government going through your shit with a fine toothed-comb.

On balance, I think that we're better off if we nuke Marxachusetts from orbit.  It's the only way to be sure.
