Radiogirl Dissects the Governors Debate
Submitted by James Protzman on Tue, 04/01/2008 - 7:11pm.
As you may know, one of our frequent visitors, Radiogirl is none other than Laura Leslie of WUNC-FM. She's a good sport, a great writer, and a tireless reporter ... and her take on our governors debate last night is well worth reading.
Still, it’s an important first– especially because it puts candidates face to face with informed voters who want to know a lot about a lot more things than the race is currently addressing. Both Moore and Perdue played it safe tonight, which was the politically smart thing to do. But I’d bet they both came away with an enhanced understanding of the difference between what grassroots Dems care about and what big party donors do.
I'd be thrilled if we actually accomplished that ... and I really think we did.

She makes a good point about broadcasting comm meetings

Push 'em out of the Committee room
and into the back room, then push 'em out into the alley.
Laura is probably right about what would happen, but the more emphasis that is put on ethics and accountability, the fewer people will feel comfortable engaging in questionable behavior.

When I find myself getting to my cynical worst, I usually stop by the Tavern for a glass of whatever and usually find my spirits lifted. I think it might just be the writing itself. I love good writing.
Same here, James.
The Tavern is one of my regular stops. It is the good writing and the sense of humor Laura has about everything. It makes me wish it were a real place.

I like what she said
I agree completely. I will admit that I considered it a success when we got through the hour without the site crashing. :D
Your role as question tosser and tron watcher
was more important then on the spot evaluation of success or failure. You made it happen! Grats on you! and lance and the other goofballs who dig into trons and coding and html and programing and geekdoom.
Gee parmea
you make it almost sound sexy. :D
