LG Debate "Feisty" and "Sometimes Personal"

Monday, October 19, 2009

FYI, from the Wagner for LG campaign:
Tonight's Lieutenant Gubernatorial debate at Roanoke College with Jody Wagner and Bill Bolling will be available via live streaming video on the WSLS website. The debate starts at 7:00 PM ET. The link is available here.
UPDATE: NLS reports on some fireworks involving Bill Bolling staff at the debate.

UPDATE #2: The Washington Post writes that "things got rough" at times, as the two candidates "duked it out in their one and only face-to-face debate in Salem Monday night with feisty and sometimes personal exchanges over taxes, jobs, education and each other's competence."

UPDATE #3: The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports that Bolling and Wagner "hurled insults at each other tonight in a debate that became so edgy that the staffs screamed at each other in the hallway outside the debate room."
"That was a meaningless platitude about nothing," Republican Bill Bolling said at one point in the debate at Roanoke College.

"Bill, I don't need a lecture from you about fiscal responsibility," Democrat Jody Wagner told Bolling at another point.
Fun times in Roanoke tonight! :)
