The Charlie Dent congressional campaign has posted the entire JCC debate on Youtube. That's a pretty solid indication that Dent is pleased with his performance. The debates have presented some clear differences, not just with regard to policy. Bethlehem Mayor John Callahan is definitely less informed than Charlie. Although they've both run negative campaigns, Dent does use debates to explain his positions in detail, while Callahan had a binder from which he just read talking points.
Don't take my word for it. You can see the debate yourself.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Loke John Stoffa, John Callahan is not a polished politician like Charlie Dent. Callahan like Mr. Stoffa has been running a government while Charlie has memorized his talking points.
ReplyDeleteJohn Callahan and John Stoffa, two similar men with the same attitude towards government.
Callahan is NOTHING like Stoffa. For one thing, he's arrogant, while Stoffa is not. For another, he sends out mailers including photos of soldiers with blood on their face. Stoffa does not do much campaigning at all.
ReplyDeleteI'd say Callahan is more akin to McHale, and what happened to her will happen to him.
I hope everyone takes the opportunity to watch the videos. I'm quite surprised you didn't run from this Bernie, Callahan won this debate easily, and was successful at pointing out Dents hypocrisy. Time for accountability my friends.
ReplyDeleteThat must be why the Dent campaign posted the debate on Youtube, so you can vote for Callahan.
ReplyDeletewell maybe you should poll people after they watch the debate. Dent was shifting in his seat like a child, and when he did talk it was all wonk. He is of washington and makes it very clear, he needs to be held accountable with the rest of the reps.
ReplyDelete"Callahan won this debate easily, and was successful at pointing out Dents hypocrisy."
ReplyDeleteThe only thing he was successful in pointing out is that he has no clue about policy.
