1. Dac_76 please post your take on this debate

All Chet has to do is keep it civil and intelligent. Arlene is hopefully going to come up looking like the wing nut she it.

Go Chet Go!!

2. I wasn't able to go but I heard ARLENE DID NOT SHOW UP!

Friend of mine went and apparently the Wolgemuth campaign had alerted *some* of the media that she wasn't going to be there but had NOT told the Edwards campaign. My question is, is she a COWARD or just terribly ill-mannered?

3. Wow what arrogance

Guess she didn't care what the voters had to say. Can your friend find out if a lot of people showed up expecting a debate and were left hanging?

I would say, if she doesn't bother to show up and defend herself would she show up in Congress and defend her constituents?

4. I'm not sure what happened...

A lot of people showed up and DID hear Chet give a great speech. According to Arlene's website there was to be no debate and she says Chet made it up. I had called Chet's campaign and THEY said that she didn't notify them, just didn't show.

So, I don't know. I do know that when I see another debate that is scheduled, I intend to bring a video camera and record it.
