At debate: Public hangings, African despots, pre-existing conditions and ducking the media
Familiar themes repeat at debate: Public hangings, African despots, pre-existing conditions and ducking the media
By Larrison Campbell and Bobby Harrison
On Tuesday night, after just under 10 minutes of questions, U.S.
Senate candidate Mike Espy thanked a crowd of reporters and walked away
from the podium.
The two dozen members of local and national media then waited for
Espys opponent in the U.S. Senate race, interim Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith,
who had just debated Espy in a room twenty yards from the podium, to
take questions.
Instead, Mississippis other U.S. Senator, Roger Wicker, appeared.
Asked if Sen. Hyde-Smith would be speaking to reporters, Wicker was
curt.
No. I think the debate speaks for itself, Wicker said.
I am glad to be here tonight as a spokesman
I think the story
should be about the debate and not what the candidates said after the
debate, he added.

Would not take reporters' questions as scheduled. Chickened out.
