Word/Found Word: Debate-o, debaht-o
Posted by Thomas Wheatley @thomaswheatley on Sat, Sep 13, 2008 at 9:27 AM
A top campaign aide insisted that Republican U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss wants to include Libertarian Allen Buckley in debates. But Buckley complained last week that Chambliss doesn’t want to debate.
“We didn’t wait for the Democrat to say that the Libertarian should not be involved in the debate, because that’s generally what the Democrat does. They don’t want the Libertarian involved in the debate. We said the Libertarian would be involved in all the debates. If he doesn’t want to show up that’s his business.”
— Tom Perdue, Chambliss’ campaign consultant, in a Sept. 4 interview with CL
“Saxby is running from his record. His goal is clear: to minimize debates and blast the airwaves from now until the election with commercials stating that he ‘represents our conservative values.’ He doesn’t represent my values. Let’s debate as much as possible.”
— Buckley in a Sept. 10 press release
“We have no comment.”
— Kate Hansen, a campaign spokeswoman for Democratic candidate Jim Martin
