Thanks. I flipped and missed some of it - but saw it starting with the part with the student questions (about the last 1/2 hour).

Coons statement on gays in the military: one of his heroes is Harry Truman who was against segregation in the military and for blacks serving side by side with whites (paraphrasing). It’s the argument that Dims have used many times. IMHO one cannot compare integration of blacks with gays serving openly - it’s like comparing apples with oranges (skin color v.s. ‘preferences’).

The comments on here re the witchy moderator are so true, from what I’ve seen so far. Purring ‘Mr. Coons, what do you think about blah” v.s. growling at COD.

Oh, she cuts off COD, re Coons’ family biz; but, when he says, that makes no sense, she says, OK, continue.

She wouldn’t let COD respond to Coons’ statement on energy.
Coons doesn’t want off-shore drilling in DE because of great beaches, fishing, tourist industry, etc., but mentioned wind technology (I thought I heard him say off-shore).

I can’t imagine Coons working across the aisle, unless they were extreme RINOs.

She did it again - asked her a question, Christine starts to answer and then she cuts her off. She cut Coons off at the end, and said ‘my apologies for interrupting’.

From what I saw, I think COD did well (loved the references to Harry’s pet). The only question I think she slipped on a bit is the 1 on the SC, but I understand. Hope more comes out in the news about Coons’ family (W L Gore) and fuel cells as well as issues w poison that some of mentioned here.

I thought Coons did OK, too; however, even though this is the 1st time I’ve heard him speak, I don’t trust his words at all. He seems rather snarky and like he could be a mean person (I don’t see him reaching across the aisle as he claims; and, agree w COD that he’d be a rubber stamp for Obama/Reid/Nancy). He actually reminds me of a younger version of Reid, maybe that’s why Reid called him his ‘pet’.

Just my $.02

Just caught some highlights of the COD vs.Coons debate on F&F with Michelle Malkin’s analysis.

Conservative candidates are handicapped from the get-go with the likes of Tom Broken, Woof Blitzem etc., They should demand a second moderator for balance.
