The Republican Debate

Well, the Republicans candidates for governor participated in a prime time televised debate Tuesday and we noticed no one bothered to “live blog” the event. Looks like no one bothered to watch either. Which of the major TV stations serving the people of New Jersey carried the debate? Oh, yea, NJN Public Television. What channel is that again?

What do the newspapers have to say?

The Star-Ledger - Leaders Forrester and Schundler accuse each other of lying.
The New York Times - Forrester and Schundler hammered each other's property tax relief plans.
The Philadelphia Inquirer - GOP hopefuls spar over spending, social issues.
The Asbury Park Press - Tax-cutting ideas debated by GOP rivals.
Bergen Record - New Jersey's Republican gubernatorial candidates traded insults and witticisms.

The leading candidates?

Doug Forrester – Forrester handily won the second ELEC debate.
Schundler’s communications director Bill Pascoe - Bret Schundler was ‘hands down the best’.
