This is a substantive debate on the issues, with the moderator (Brunswick News reporter Jess Davis) sitting between the two candidates and pitching real questions.
Jack seems peeved to have to be on the same forum as some upstart; sound like certain other debates? Bill was the keynote speaker at the Valdosta Obama office opening.
Bill Gillespie wants to get us out of Iraq by handing over to the Iraqis, preferably within 18 months. Jack Kingston wants any timetable to be decided by the general in Baghdad.
Jack Kingston promotes himself as a champion of renewable energy (although local students don't agree) but then gets off on offshore drilling.
Bill Gillespie answers Jack's drilling hatchet with a scalpel and then describes his vision for renewable energy jobs for south Georgia and ties it to extensive existing rail infrastructure.
Jack says he's a champion of the middle class, and Bill calls him on it, pointing out that themiddleclass.org consistently gives Jack an F.
There's more: economy, health care, regulation, etc. Watch it and see what you think.
Update: Changed the video URL because Brunswick News did.
Update 2: Don't miss the rematch, in Atlanta, on TV, and online, Sunday 26 October!
