McChicken makes Franklin and Co. Roll in Graves

As the Centennial Institute prepares for their Gubernatorial “face off” on November 3rd, the Colorado Springs Gazzette today reminds Colorado that Scott McInnis forced the format terms away from meaningful debate and instead mandated a platform where  candidates merely parrot their stump talking points. The Centennial Institute’s mission is to “renew the spirit of 1776.” This is ironic in that a value in real debate is well documented from our founding fathers. They liked hashing out the issues- not candidate forums.

Abraham Lincoln also shared a belief in the importance of debate as it related to a healthy Republic.

Franklin and Lincoln would frown on McInnis’ notion that debate is a bad thing. Its ironic that McInnis will take the state organized by an organization whose very mission is to foster real, deliberate bebate just like the ones our founding fathers engages in.

Here is today’s story.

  1. “We’re not going to win this race on the front porch, having an iced tea,” said Penry, who’s generally regarded as the underdog. “We’ve got to get out and sell ourselves.”

    That didn’t take long…

  2. When have any candidates done a real debate in recent years? Even if it is a debate format, they just repeat their talking points back and forth. The only way to get a decent debate is with a real, seasoned, tough moderator that you sometimes get with Presidential debates. Anything statewide is a joke because the moderators don’t know enough and can’t control the panel.
