Thoughts on the Democratic Senate Debate

I think Yarbrough will most likely get my vote. I believe after hearing him, that he actually earned it.

Sadler came off sounding more like a republicon to me. It's amazing that MoveOn considered him progressive. He didn't sound the least bit progressive to me.

To be fair I only heard the last half of the debate, however, that was enough time to gauge both candidates.

Yarborough has run a couple of times in the GOP primary as a republican. That disqualifies him for my vote

it sent up a red flag, and made me not want to vote for him.

And I certainly didn't like Sadler's answer on Decrim. Especially when he made the statement he didn't think the public was ready. From the polls I've read most of the polls beg to differ. If it made it to our Party's platform then that indicates that we ARE ready.


Sheesh, this race is disappointing! But Sadler does have a better resume.

Thanks for the info, Gothmog.
