More Debate Coverage

In addition to the debate coverage we provided a couple of days ago, here's some more video debate coverage of some of our candidates.

Libertarian Phil Maymin is running for Congress in Connecticut's 4th Congressional District against incumbent Republican Chris Shays and Democrat Diane Farrell. The three candidates have held a total of five debates, so far. The first two debates are now available online in video format here and here, respectively.

Maymin pulled off some good laugh lines in his first debate. "If you're in your forties or your fifties or your sixties, like my opponents, then you should be entitled to every retirement benefit that you would get," joked Maymin when discussing Social Security reform in the first debate.

Of course, Iraq is a much more serious topic. "I don't want our guns or our lives or our money in Iraq. I want to come home," Maymin said strongly during the second debate.

We covered the first of the Arizona gubernatorial debates the yesterday and now have video available here from the second debate between Libertarian Barry Hess, incumbent Democrat Janet Napolitano and Republican Len Munsil.

There were laugh lines in Arizona, too.

"Right now, Janet [Napolitano] will tell you that she wants to invest in the children, but it's like investing in Enron, at this point," said Hess about the state education system.

Reader Comments:

It is about time that we get in the debates. Its weird that Republicans and Democrats talk about democracy and human rights abroad but not at home.
