Most people with the incumbent advantage shy <br />away from debates.<br /><br />Both candidates did well. Murphy was very polished, Mark was a <br />little rough around the edges. Mark, however, was more sincere and <br />straightforward. Murphy was somewhat evasive and defensive on the <br />answers.<br /><br />Some specific criticisms of Murphy:<br /><br />1. He criticized Mark for the mere mention of spending on education <br />and then went on and on about how much pork barrel spending he has <br />gotten. Pretty inconsistent.<br /><br />2. He argued for preserving frozen embryos with a "sanctity of life" <br />argument while he is an ardent supporter of killing live humans <br />through the death penalty. Very inconsistent.<br /><br />3. He defended his support of a Constitutional Amendment that takes <br />away rights through a "sanctity of the Bill of Rights" argument. Not <br />just inconsistent, sheer hypocrisy.<br /><br />I'm disappointed that the moderator picked my cream-puff question and <br />not one of my tough quetions. Oh, well, it was a good question with <br />which to start the debate. <br /><br />Overall, for all you political investors out there, I would advise <br />you to short-sell Murphy stock and buy Boles stock on margin.<br /><br /> - CJMarquetteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
