Erik Hagen has spent the morning talking to other members of the Sod Blog. He is optimistic that there has been significant progress toward a bipartisan liveblogging agreement now that there is a framework for all parties to be represented in negotiations, including Nate Sjol as a designated negotiator for Sod Blog Independents. As such, the Sod Blog is resuming all activities and the site will be liveblogging the debate this evening. Following the debate, all bloggers on this site will probably engage in a gigantic flame war between themselves and any and all commenters on the site that will end in tears and bitterness, to ensure that all voices and interests are represented in the final agreement, especially those of taxpayers and homeowners.

See you at the debate, bitches.
