Debate 3 Autopsies

More people were allowed to see the third Gube debate because the local broadcaster conglomerate deigned to broadcast it throughout the state.. Frankly our representatives in the State Assembly and Senate should mandate a fixed number of debates for every state office, as well as make arrangements with broadcasters to broadcast via TV and radio every race. Not every race would have to be broadcast statewide. State Assembly and Senate race debates should be broadcast city/county-wide for their relevant districts. And there should at least by two each; Four or more for statewide offices. Candidates should not be allowed to dictate things as important as debates. That should be our job, via our elected representatives.

Anyways, since more people were allowed to watch Debate III by our Media Lords and Masters, there are more post-mortems than for the Debate II. Note this post is subject to obsessive updating:

• Video is here, it seems.
• AP’s Hennessy gave the standard blow by blow, noting that Titus seemed to have a bunch of ideas for expanding educational opportunity while Gibbons was looking for ways to shrink it. Educational opportunity, I mean. Hennessy also seemed disappointed that nothing was said about Gib-gate, the affair about the non-assault by the non-intoxicated, usually tea-totalling Gibbons. At least that’s Siggy’s version, but he was buying lots people lots of drinks, including himself, so who knows? Hey, did you notice her name was NOT on the latest Reid hit piece from Solomon? What’s with that?
• Gleaner noted how folksy and old-fashioned Gibbons appeared, or tried to appear.
• Beacon thought Gibbons was out of touch on Healthcare cuz he seemed to be worried about the doctor shortage from a few years back. His solution: deny patients mutilated by quacks the right or redress. She called him Rip Van Winkle, which is a better analogy than Buck Rogers because at least Buck had an exciting time in the seventies dancing disco in spandex tights. Can’t picture Gibbons in spandex tights, myself. Red smoking jacket? Yeah.
• Blue Lion thought Dina rocked.
• Nevada UpNorth thought the debate was weak: "Gibbons was a mama’s boy, Titus didn’t deliver the punches she needed to."
• Gleaner, the morning after, has caught the dread disease of Gibitus: making up new words beginning with "gib-" to describe Jim Giblet Gibbons and his gibularities idiosyncrasies. He also thinks that Sig Rogich may be making the campaign’s message a bit too subtle. Too many late nights buying rounds in the local watering-hole may be taking their toll. The cure for Gibitus is Dina Titus, if you were wondering.
• Molly Ball found the debate format quirky and delivers the blow by blow for the videoless.
• Nevada Dems noted that Gibbons, when lacking ideas, simply borrows them from Titus.
