Live blog of first debate between Senator Scott Brown and challenger Elizabeth Warren - Political In

trying to unseat him, Harvard Law School professor Elizabeth Warren, were meeting face-to-face tonight for the first of four debates in their hotly contested race.

Boston.com, BostonGlobe.com, and “Political Intelligence” were providing this live blog to recap the run-up to the event, the candidate back-and-forth, and the post-debate spin.
Read below for the latest update.

The debate itself was preceded with some drama amid questions about whether Brown would be able to break free from Capitol Hill to return to Boston. He left the capital at mid-afternoon and was not expected back in Massachusetts until just before the debate began at 7 p.m. EDT.

Brown, the Republican incumbent, said earlier this week he planned to use the debate to highlight the differences in the political philosophies he and Warren embrace, as well as his interest in job creation and what he labeled her “radical, Occupy Wall Street” views.
