Senatorial Debate
on 24-11-2009 14:01

Once week later our team did it all over again, this time for the Federal Senate seat.  The Centennial Institute, a subsidiary of Colorado Christian University, once again hosted a debate for candidates aspiring to office.

I was very disappointed that both democrats declined to be part of the debate.  If someone is going to host a debate, both sides should be represented so that people can see what is going on.  I would be embarrassed if I were a democrat and not present at a large debate.  While the Democrats were a no-show, the Republican Party has four excellent candidates running to take back seats in Washington.

The debate followed the same format from the governors debate - with opening comments, questions from the hosts, questions from the audience, and closing remarks - but a little bit shorter.
Each answer was given in a timed manner.  What I liked about this debate was the round table questions: one quick answer per person, per question.

I hope when I debate my opponent, Andy Kerr, I get the same kind of fun.  Come next year I'm sure we will be on the other side rather than in the audience for a debate.  In the meantime, I have learned a lot from these events.

Big thanks to the Centennial Institute for bringing in these opportunities for voters.
