A new debate
I’m thoroughly enjoying the Democratic debate in Philadelphia. Although Mike Gravel, my candidate of choice, was excluded for spurious reasons, he’s having a fun go of it anyway, and doing it in a way that could have a lot of promise for the future.
He’s in a small auditorium, and the debate is being projected on a screen behind him. The MSNBC broadcast is Tivoed, which gives Gravel the opportunity to stop the debate and respond to the candidates point-by-point. It’s interesting to watch this free-form analysis and deconstruction of each of the speakers’ points by a fellow candidate.
Of course, this is all being webcast, with an IRC channel providing additional commentary from the peanut gallery.
Little pieces, all working together.
