Not just the big issues--the smaller ones, too.....

Debt Limit, Ledbetter, Payroll Tax.

Not until later though....that we learned that this was a plan...book by Robert Draper

He's listing differences....

Starts with education. High standards and pay for teachers. Romney wants to cut early education/Head Start...look at his budget. He wants to cut early ed, spec. ed, job training.....

JUST LISTEN TO ROMNEY about how cutting classroom size isn't worthwhile.

I just saw your thread and livestream link, so am tuned in currently, as I type (11:56). The link shows people mingling around, waiting for a speaker apparently.

So question: Could this speaker be a replay of the Biden speech that I missed, or are they still 'live' waiting for a different speaker?

Sorry for the dumb question. ... Just really hoping that what I'm watching is going to be a replay.

This is apparently a live press conference. Definitely missed the Biden speech Hope to see it posted elsewhere as a video replay.
