Liveblogging the First Presidential Debate

It's been a while since we did this, eh Morons and Moronettes?

So long, in fact, that the CoveritLive software we used went to a new pricing model that eliminated their free version for our purposes. That wouldn't be so bad by itself, but I'll be damned if I can decipher the fee schedule for their pay version. As best I can tell, one of our usual debate liveblogs would cost somewhere between $50 and $150 that could be put to better use elsewhere. And by elsewhere, I mean the liquor store.

Plus, frankly, I've never been comfortable that CoveritLive's user stats were right to begin with. So we're trying some new software tonight. It's not free either, but the pricing model is much better.

Same scheme as with the old software, though. All comments are moderated and will only be posted if they're funny, witty or if you bribe one of the moderators.

I'm starting it early and unmoderated so everybody can kick the tires.

Let's do this thing!
