The 2nd Presidential Debate Live Blog

Filed in National by Delaware Dem on October 16, 2012 • 19 Comments

We did not do a Live Blog during the first presidential debate due to technical difficulties. We had one up and running for the vice presidential debate. If the President does well tonight then we will know for certain that Delaware Liberal is responsible for the President’s first debate performance. If not, well then we are all truly screwed.

Join us tonight in the Liveblog. To join, click on the link “Liveblog” on the menu in the top right section of the site. For illustrative purposes…

This Can’t Be True, Can It?

Richard Williamson is Mitt Romney’s top foreign policy advisor, the guy who orchestrated Romney’s original effort to exploit the attack in Libya before it was even clear the US Ambassador had died. Now he’s saying that Romney will insist Obama “man up” and take responsibility for the Ambassador’s death at tonight’s debate.

There are two reasons why I think Mitt Romney wouldn’t dare try and pull this off. First, reports from people who were actually in Libya are citing the video as the initial reason they heard for the attack, and second… Mitt uttering the words man up? Yeah, that would sound natural.

If I were Romney I’d tread carefully here. He already has parents of fallen embassy officials calling him out for politicizing this tragedy.

The candidates for governor of Delaware squared off in a debate Tuesday morning on WDEL. Unfortunately I was at work and missed it. Was anyone at Widener to see the debate or did you listen on WDEL?
