The Guardian’s Richard Adams reluctantly live-blogs the recent Republican convocation:

This was such a low-key debate that in parts only dogs could hear it.

This time they’ve thoughtfully included Alan Keyes, probably to prove that, yes, this party can get more extreme.

2.40 So far this is the worst debate of either party. Too many candidates, each with a small quiver of thoughts and a couple with single-issue fixations, have now nothing left to say but are insisting on saying it anyway. If anyone wants to see the intellectual bankruptcy of the modern Republican party, here it is. It’s like watching a drunk trying to pick a fight with a rotting corpse — and losing.

Even Huckabee and McCain, usually pretty sparky, seem as dull as dung here this afternoon. Huckabee is doing his reasonable man schtick.

2.46 Romney’s hair looks extra shiny tonight. Must be a new coat of varnish.
