Indiana

Quick Draw

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

I had some problems with my DVR last night so trying to watch the second Gubernatorial debate was a little difficult, but it really didn’t matter because nothing changed all that much.   Both Mitch Daniels and Jill Long Thompson were a little more aggressive and Andy Horning was still Andy Horning.  So here are my overall grades based on style, delivery and content.

• Mitch Daniels - B+, good on specifics and calling JLT’s facts on the carpet.  Maybe a little too aggressive with one member of the audience.
• JLT - C/C+.  You continued your attack on Daniels and added a couple more specifics to you plan for Indiana, but you still didn’t give voters a reason to switch.
• Andy Horning - B.  Good performance, but when people are looking to government for answers telling them to look elsewhere might not be the best thing.
