I was delighted to see a debate that really began to get at issues. The audience seemed to be made up of two separate partisan camps, one for Brown and the other for Warren. That led at times to cheering all out of proportion to the point made. But other than that, it was a substantive debate. I thought Elizabeth Warren did a better job of fending off Senator Brown’s distortions of her record than in previous debates. Plus she was, with these questions, able to expose the votes he has cast that directly conflict with his “I’m Mr. Moderate.” narrative. I think Elizabeth Brown will get a spike in the polls from it.
