The first gaffe of the debate

The first gaffe of the debate came within minutes.

While answering a question about how the justice system treats minorities, Beverly Perdue said that she did not want to see another "Duke soccer team" happen.

"As the next governor of North Carolina, on my watch I will do whatever it takes to be sure there is not a James Johnson or a Darryl Hunt or a Duke soccer team either," she said.

Um, that would be Duke lacrosse, unless there's been another case of prosecutorial misconduct recently.
