Tonight’s GOP debate (THUR AM UPDATE: TRANSCRIPT LINK ADDED)

It starts in just a few minutes and will be airing on CNN. I’m in the middle of a few different things right now, so I won’t be liveblogging it, but I’ll catch the highlight reels later. Feel free to post your comments about the debate in this thread.

Update: As expected, fireworks erupted between Romney and McCain. The AP has the details here.

Thur AM Update: Here’s a transcript of last night’s debate.

In light of last night’s debate, and the reactions it provoked – as well as in response to some of other things I’ve seen written about McCain, Romney, and their supporters/detractors in recent days, I’m working on a post about McCain, Romney, and the state of the Republican party, but it’s going to take some time and may not be up for a couple of days. Suffice it to say that I’ve got a lot to write.
