Blogging the Debate

After the Gubernatorial Debate last night, let's take a look at your opinions on the performance of the two candidates.  We'll also look at the reaction of newspapers and bloggers across the Commonwealth.

Read at least 3 of these before you start your blog post on the debate.

Your blog post should focus on your reaction to the debate.  If you have not yet seen the debate, describe some of the reactions to the debate from the mainstream media and political bloggers across the state.  If you quote another blogger or a newspaper article, please cite your work.

• http://www.nbc4.com/politics/5077078/detail.html  NBC12 on the debate.  Includes the full video of the debate.  (you may need to turn off your pop-up blocker to get the video window to open.)  Unfortunately, you can’t skip forward or backwards in the video.  For those who slacked and didn’t watch the debate: please watch the first 5 minutes so you will know what the rest of class is talking about.
