So here I am in Trout auditorium, listening to a question about the impact of technology on politics, while I live blog. The question come from a session hosted by PCN of a live audience doing a discussion with two BU Poli Sci professors, Dr. Robin Jacobson, and Dr. Atiya Stokes-Brown. Yeah media irony!
Some of the choice call-in questions:
"One is a socialist, the other for corporations, so they are both a problem."
"Who will do more for the uninsured?"
A long question from the audience that seemed to be saying that there is not enough discussion of sexism against Sarah Palin relative to discussion of racism against Barack Obama. I think.
Now they are doing overview of Carney-Hackett debate.

I am sitting next to Chiiper Dean and I am jealous of his Iphone as he surfs while they talk. He is facebooking.
So Jordi, how was the actual debate? Sorry I missed it.
Meh. OK. Carney looked sick. Hackett was pretty effective, telegenic. Managed to seem a likable guy despite the fact that his policies smell draconian right wing.
I thought Chris looked uncomfortable attacking Hackett on his tax liens and on supposedly hiring "illegals" in his business. Carney's substantiation of those charges was weak.
I imagine that Hackett picked up a few points if people watched it.
Moderator was AWFUL. Cut them off like they were kindergartners.
