CPRoundup: Debate's Top Ten Tweets
CPR Editor Note: Columbia Political Review watched the second presidential debate with members of the Columbia Political Union, Columbia University Democrats, and Columbia University College Republicans. The town hall format produced clash, sound bites, and a whole lot of Internet commentary. Here are the tweets that tell the tale.
