Reply #1: In what way was that debate with Ed Cervone a set-up?

[RBInMaine]

If you are talking about the 30-minute TV debate on TABOR with Bill Becker and Ed Cervone that happened this evening and which I just watched on video streaming, I'm not sure what you mean by it being a
"set-up". Do you think they subtly favored the pro-TABOR side or that
Becker "won" the debate? I think Becker may have been a bit more polished but that Ed Cervone held his own. The one thing that did piss me off was how they started by featuring their online poll but that these online polls ARE NOT SCIENTIFIC SURVEYS!! In other words, they are not based on a random sample of likely voters and are therefore usually heavily skewed one way or the other. You're right, Becker kept with the LIE that TABOR doesn't cut spending, but I think Ed did a pretty good job pointing out that it would result in spending cuts and that Becker had no answer on what he thought should be cut. Of course they NEVER talk about what they think should be cut. I also think Ed did a pretty good job talking about alternatives but also that this referendum is not about "alternatives". It is about the TABOR plan and he did alright stressing that it is a flawed plan that won't work.

The NO ON ONE campaign is working hard. I continued lit dropping myself today in my town. At this stage don't worry, just get out there and WORK. Do lit drops, talk to friends, realtives, and neighbors, email friends and relatives, put out signs, make a contribution, help with phone banking... Just work, work, work from now until election day and let's beat this thing!!
