Horses and Bayonets: @baratunde tweets the final presidential #debate

this is it! my last debate live-tweeting of the season. this time I was at the Citizen M hotel in London. Seemed rather perfect to be in foreign soil for a foreign policy-themed debate.

  1. As usual, I promoted several tweets before the official debate start. 
  2. Most interesting foreign policy development of last four yrs has been rise of drones. We've been "mapping" opinion: project.wnyc.org/30iss-drones/
  3. Tune in for the final presidential debate on foreign policy tonight: Live coverage kicks off at 9pm ET. OFA.BO/wHqTiw
  4. I'm live tweeting the final #debate (foreign policy) from #london (a foreign land!). I automagically win the debate http://pic.twitter.com/sQ596RQr
  5. I'm no longer undecided-- I'm rooting for the foreigners. #debate
  6. what are we going to do when this #debate is over?? i never thought much about it. FOUR MORE DEBATES! FOUR MORE DEBATES!
  7. "i got osama bin laden. how many times are we going to hear that tonight?" asks BBC reporter who clearly hates america #debate
  8. Took a while to really get things started
  9. mitt romney has never said the word "mali" out loud before in his life. never. #debate
  10. "we can't kill our way out of this mess" says man who wants to give the defense department billions more than they've asked for #debate
  11. correction: TRILLIONS
  12. glad to see prez remind people of the overwhelming libyan demonstrations of support for the #usa. american media distorted highly #debate
  13. i think romney just offered to share his #bindersfullofwomen with leaders in the middle east #debate
  14. last week i had the honor to meet @ghonim of #egypt who said "revolution is a process, not an event." #debate
  15. "the 1980s are now calling and asking for their foreign policy back." -@barackobama #debate #ohgod
  16. "every time you've offered an opinion you've been wrong." @barackobama clearly using the hurry-up offense #debate
  17. Tough to walk away from the videotape--Romney said Russia is our number one foe: youtu.be/8tjMC2IK0Yg #RomneyWrong
  18. FACT: Romney said that not keeping 10,000-30,000 troops in Iraq is one of President Obama’s “signature failures.” OFA.BO/fPak4q
