Sunday, September 30: Click the photo for more debate photos.
Friday, September 28: I’ll post pics here later, hopefully today. MBA’s Bob Cox took all the good ones. (Hint, hint, Bob) Eric at Classical Values has posted pics. I got a few of myself (well, Bob did) with the Man of Steele himself. Nice guy. This blog is somewhat high profile in conservative circles, but I’m always surprised when I meet people like Michael Steele who “know” me.

Live-blogging from Ian Schwartz, Matt Sheffield, Casey Lartigue, and Eric Scheie.
Juan Williams is asking: name one reform you would endorse that would ensure that young blacks and hispanics would have equal justice in America’s courts. Brownback said something about the Second Chance Act. Tancredo says federal government should not mandate drug penalties. Should go to the states. A states’ rights man. Tancredo also mentioned the breakdown of the family. Keep hammering it home. People want to talk about race, but only about what the government can give people. What will the people do? Where does their responsibility lie?
Ron Paul wants to repeal war on drugs. It’s not working! Big applause.
Cynthia Tucker asks: she calls showing voter ID RIGID. Is she crazy? GEORGIA’S DARKIES REDUX. She asked about DC being recognized as a state. Tancredo says DC is not a state, so no. And he says it’s not asking too much of people to prove who they are before they do something as important as voting. Gee whiz! Hunter says he’d support DC statehood if DC would REPEAL THE GUN BAN. My hands are sore from clapping.
Huckabee believes in DC statehood. So does Brownback. Got to amend the Constitution. The only proper way to do it. It would never pass.
I gotta tell you, this race-related crap is making my stomach feel funny. I might throw up. Right here on my laptop. Pictures later. I’m going to Liza Sabater’s chatroom.
Juan Williams: Acknowledged black military woman. First black woman combat pilot in US history. Served two tours. Williams mentioned low enlistment for blacks and hispanics. Is that because of the Iraq war? How do we raise enlistment? Believe me, it’s not worth live-blogging.
Ron Paul wants us out of Iraq. Had nothing to do with 9/11.
10:14 p.m.: Tucker asks if US has role in ending genocide in Darfur and what would it be? Huckabee says yes we should be involved, but we need to deal with millions of babies killed in the US through abortion. Here, here! Brownback says as powerful nation, we need to be involved. Divest, provide food and medicine, etc. Tancredo says yes, we should be involved. Hunter says ditto. Keyes says we are in touch with every person in the world, and we can’t turn on our backs on suffering.
10:23 p.m.: Juan Williams asked if school integration is still necessary. In other words, do black kids need to sit next to white kids to learn. A couple of clowns said yes, in so many words. Tancredo said it’s racist to believe that. What we need is not forced integration but SCHOOL CHOICE. Vouchers.
