Anyone watching the Menendez/Kean Debate on C-Span? |
|
If you are what do you think. Menendez has a great pretty much liberal Dem voting record but he's running against another "Father/Son" Dynasty...and Tom Kean (his father's "very young son") is pretty much a Ken Mehlman Repug Talking Points Clone.
Menendez seems to be a little weak. But, that's my impression. It seemed Menendez wasn't expecting the questions he was gettin from Bush Bot Media...and yet NJ is supposedly a Blue State...so would Menendez have been thinking he would get "soft ball questions" when we out here on the "Internets" know the Media is Controlled? :shrug: anyway...if anyone is watching I hope they have seen better than I have........

But that is a seat the Democrats have to hold onto. With the latest poll out of Missouri with Talent behind Democratic challenger, Claire McCaskill, we have a great shot at picking up seats. It would suck to pick up that seat (and maybe Montana, Pennslyvania, and Rhode Island) and then lose a seat in a blue state.

9. I don't know....maybe Menendez thinks he can beat the "Sports Dynasty" |
|
which follows the Bushies where the "Favorite Son" goes on to victory. :shrug: I'm really surprised at Menendez performance since he has a very liberal voting record. He doesn't seem to be able to defend Democratic principles against what seems to be a Repug Clone with armed talking points with Kean.

3. I watched some of it, but |
|
I couldn't get past Kean's halting speech patterns. It was really annoying. I thought Menendez was a much better speaker.

...just tuned in a few minutes ago.
I think Menendez is doing a good job but should be pressing the fact that "any" republican elected to the senate will be bad for the country. No matter how "flexible" Kean appears - he will be in the republican "head-lock" if he is elected.

12. Menendez is smooth and very smart. He's an excellent orator and |
|
debater. He rarely resorts to thug tactics. He's smarter than that. He very clearly out classed Kean. I don't think anybody but you will be declaring Kean the winner.

Tom Kean doesn't sound like a Democrat. He also sounds, forgive me, very stupid... Dan Quayle and George Bush type stupid. Really, he should be operating an elevator.

...after the debate, they had a picture of dimwit Kean with an R, so I guess he changed parties to run, or whatever...

8. Mike...Kean's father (is this another Repug with "Trophy Wife") is a Repug |
|
Edited on Sun Jun-25-06 07:06 PM by KoKo01
and I assumed his son is a Repug and that's why he'd debating Menendez.
Are you saying Kean is running against Menendez as a Dem? I used to live in NJ way back...so maybe the "Son" changed parties and is running as a Dem. :shrug: I haven't lived there in awhile...
