So word is the president won’t be watching tomorrow night’s Second Republican Presidential Debate.

You don’t have to, either. I’ll be live-blogging the damn thing right here, God help me. I probably won’t do that for the Sad Remnants debate earlier, unless I sense Bobby Jindal is planning to self-destruct.

I’ve been live-blogging big events here from the beginning, but have never solicited any feedback on my approach, which is to put up segments every half-hour or so. Let me know if you have any specific suggestions.
