- Lots of traffic. Didn’t make it home in time. I have c-span radio on in the car though. 01:04:47
- For the record, at this second I am parked to pick up Alex at his school. I am not tweeting while driving down the highway. 01:05:34
- First comment: Nooooooo! NOT LARRY KING!!!! Noooooooo! 01:06:11
- Home now. Switching to TV. First question about top 2 primaries. They don’t like it. Surprise! Some say leave to states. Like that better. 01:25:45
- Larry King forgot about opening statements. They are going back to do that now. Too funny. 01:27:39
- For some reason my twitter feed is not spinning out of control with debate comments on the 3rd party debate like it was on the others. :-/ 01:29:19
- Johnson giving opening statement. So far hasn’t said a single thing I disagree with. 01:31:47
- OK, now he has. Balanced budget in 2013 would be irresponsible I think. 01:32:04
- Larry King sucked before he retired. He still sucks. 01:33:07
- I really knew nothing about any of these guys except Johnson before tonight. Trying to learn about them. 01:33:35
- RT @indecision: Whoever answers this war on drugs question by firing up a massive blunt wins. #thirdpartydebate 01:34:04
- I’d never heard of Anderson at all. Kinda like him. 01:34:36

#NowThatsADebate
#debates 01:35:43 - Johnson looks mad. Why is he so mad? 01:37:10
- I like Stein too. Didn’t expect to. 01:40:10
- Not particularly liking Goode though. 01:40:28
- RT @daveweigel: I was going to watch the third party debate, but then I realize that I’ll be dead one day and don’t want to waste my life. 01:40:36
- Larry King is such an ass. 01:42:14
- I generally agree with these guys on the drug war stuff, but it makes them seem like whack jobs when they yell about it. 01:43:42
- Brandy is complaining about Goode’s accent. 01:44:00

- Johnson on balanced budget in one year thing again. Too fast. Would tank economy. 01:46:04
- OK with some of the reductions, just change that is too sudden would cause damage. 01:46:59
- Alex wants me to pause the debate so I can play trains. “PAUSE THAT DADDY! PAUSE NOW!” 01:49:55
- “MAKE IT STOP!” – Alex on 3rd party debate 01:50:31

… 01:55:36 - So far my take away from 3P debate: Johnson good, but I disagree more than I thought. Meanwhile, need 2 learn more about Stein & Anderson. 02:00:01
- I generally lean against govt involvement where it doesn’t need to be. But I think education & healthcare may be two places it is needed. 02:02:33
- All of these guys are going to be against NDAA / Indefinite detention, etc. Good. Biggest argument against Obama for me. 02:05:19
- Alex just hit me in the head with a basketball several times. Headache now. 02:05:54

- Anderson wants “New Equal RIghts Amendment” including LGBT as well as gender. 02:11:59
- Goode wants amendment for term limits. 02:12:12
- Johnson also wants term limits. 02:13:12
- RT @lapetiteradical: The position “the president shouldn’t be able to indefinitely detain and assassinate U.S. citizens” is relegated to … 02:14:32
- Stein wants an amendment to declare money not speech and corporations not people. 02:15:31
- Closing statements! 02:17:08
- RT @daveweigel: If you’re not an idiot, you notice that term limits in the states have greatly enhanced the power of unions, lobbyists. 02:17:38
- Goode is very anti-immigrant, ain’t he? 02:18:18
- Johnson emphasizing resume. I think I like several of these guys, but Johnson only one with basic prerequisites to be President. 02:19:46
- Meaning Governor, Senator or VP. Long time since someone not one of those became president. 02:21:11

- This was actually a fun debate to watch. Too bad they don’t get to debate Obama and Romney directly. 02:25:27
- Some idiot puts a Johnson sign behind Larry King. 02:25:53
- There will be a second third party debate? OK, I liked this, but not sure we need two. 02:29:48
- Ah, it will only be the top two after an Internet poll. :-/ 02:30:33
- And we’re done. 02:30:51
