C-SPAN @ the Brookings Institution. Richard Williamson for Romney and Michele Flournoy for Obama. I didn't catch it from the beginning but a good debate, now in the audience Q&A session, including from foreign media. I'm not familiar with Williamson, will look him up in a minute. I know I've seen scholarship by Flournoy produced prior to her work with the Obama administration and campaign, but I don't recall specifics. More attention is being paid to Williamson, as the point is to clarify the positions that distinguish Romney from Obama. Two or three times now Williamson has said "Governor Reagan" instead of "Governor Romney." Now on China. Williamson lists litany of issues, says Romney will use WTO more aggressively. He's complimentary to Obama on pursuing human rights vis-a-vis China, and to SecState Clinton on building a regional alliance (Vietnam, et al).
Overall good debate.
