Sorry, I expected to be chiming in from the hotel once I got here (I’m in Springfield, Ohio –though I couldn’t find Shelbyville anywhere). But we got into a car accident on the way from the airport to the hotel which cut into the schedule a bit. I’m fine and so is everyone else including Peter Beinart who was in the car with me (safely in the back seat, shrewdly letting the conservative guy absorb the blow!). While I feel fine now, I may be calling John Edwards later if the debate tonight at Wittenberg U doesn’t go that well.

I’ll be back tonight, either during the debate or immediately after (not sure where I’ll physically be and so don’t know what opportunities there will be for live -blogging.
