Team coverage: The 2nd presidential debate!

The Brooklyn Paper

On Tuesday night, tens of millions of Americans watched the second presidential debate between Barack Obama and John McCain. With that many people engaged in something so big, you can be sure that The Brooklyn Paper’s “Best Community Newspaper Political Team in the Whole Darn Business” was out on the beat, watching the debate, too. Here is our exclusive full-team coverage.

“These lines at the bottom of the screen seem to have nothing to do with what is happening in the debate itself. My guess: Undecided voters are simply too dumb to operate the device properly.”
Gersh Kuntzman, Editor

"What did Brokaw say — Wall Street got drunk? Well, I can't exactly let them drink alone, could I?"
Ben Muessig, reporter

"These guys are all promising homeowners' relief, but what are they offering to a guy like me, who can't get a date and lives in a dump in Ditmas Park? Yeah, you got it: Nothing!"
Mike McLaughlin, Senior Reporter

Ashwin Deshmukh
“I paid for my whole seat, but I only used the edge!”
Sarah Portlock, reporter
