News Disappointing mayoral debate at Emory
Posted by Andisheh Nouraee on Thu, Oct 15, 2009 at 7:38 PM
Wednesday night's mayoral debate at Emory University's Glenn Memorial Auditorium was hugely disappointing.
Sponsored the League of Women Voters Atlanta-Fulton County, candidates were given only 60 seconds to answer big questions about subjects like finances, public housing, education, crime, jobs, and water management. The format almost forces candidates to give numbingly vague answers. All of the candidates oppose crime, child prostitution, and fiscal mismanagement while supporting education, jobs and affordable housing.
I've been Googling for video or audio, but can't find it. If you know where I can find some, please post a link in the comments.
And if you're feeling masochistic, I live Tweeted® from the audience.

I watched that duh-bait last night online and was utterly disappointing. In all my years, I don't think I've ever remembered Emory being that self-serving. Aside from starting late, there were about 20 minutes of intros before finally getting into the meat of the debate. But by then, there was too much gristle to stomach.
