Sorry for the Breaking News thing, but hey this is breaking news in NC.

Anyone else watching the debate?

Liddy got in a good lick. Bowles was trying to paint her as a carpetbagger. Liddy asked why if he was so against carpetbaggers, why he raised so much money for Hillary!

What'd the Bowleweevil say?

[TC Rider]

For those outside the NC loop, for all his campaigning, Irksome Bowels has never admitted to working for Clinton. His pamphlets and web page show his 'work' in DC, standing next to Trent Lott. You'd think he was the cheerleaders chief-of-staff.

Yes I watched. This was the first time I heard Bowles speak. I expected him to sound like Mr. Peepers also.

I thought Dole's grasp of the facts was superior. However she did stumble on the 'Reparations' issue, IMHO. She also missed an opening on school vouchers, letting Bowles get away with the statemet that vouchers would cut teacher jobs. Duh??? There would still need to be teachers, just not school board employees.

He got in some licks on the 'live in NC issue'.

Any one who would work for Clinton has NO integrity.
Not that I even thought of voting for him.

Thanks for the updates, TC. I'm no longer in NC, and I pulled the plug on my TV a long time ago, so I didn't know this was happening. Thanks for supporting Ms. Dole.

Dang! I forgot about the debate .... meant to watch it.

Thanks to those who have reported on it.

I posted on the other debate thread that we now know now why this debate was recorded by mutual agreement. Neither had much camera presence but do think that Liddy was better though it was about as dull a debate as I have ever seen

[deport]

When and where was it on?

The Arkansas Senate debate is on right now....... C-SPAN 2

Liddy is probably too liberal in some things for many of us. But she will support the President's nominations. Bowels won't.

In my opinion, she does not have the blind, obsessive ambition and evil goals that a Hillary-type has. If GW can't keep her pretty much in line, then we have no faith in his abilities.

+Yeah, the carpetbagger thing backfired on him.
- She dodged reparations
0 to both- Generics might possibly cause major drug manufacs to neglect further R&D, since they would be forced to sell drugs at little-to-no profit.
+ She smacked him across the head repeatedly about overseas jobs ie; his family owned textiles selling out and crossing the border
+/- Neither scored on military, either standard of living for military, or deployments to Mid-East. However, few here at Bragg have forgotten what was attempted in Fla. to military overseas voters.
+ Bowels hasnt grasped that his 'guilt-by-association' to the Clinton'istas is still a stinking albatross around his neck.
- Dole doesnt equate her run here with the Witch in N.Y.
Not a fair comparison, but on N.C. voters minds never-the-less.

As for the hosts, Larry Stogner from channel 11, and David Crabtree from channel 5.
Crabtree has always seemed to have a slight liberal slant, and Stogner the slight conservative lean. Might be my perception...Some very fair questions asked tho IMO

IRKSOME BOWELS alert!

[patriciaruth]

Liddy asked why if he was so against carpetbaggers, why he raised so much money for Hillary!

Yew! Go, Liddy!!

and I thought you didn't know how to street fight...

[AdA$tra]

This Kansan is for Dole....LOL

[Helms]

This is National News and I hope that another Clintonite goes down in flames. He also helped Hillary with funding for her Senatorial run. These people disgust me to no end.
