Today's Poll: What do you think about Jack Davis withdrawing from the debate?

By Howard B. Owens

Republican Governor Rick Perry of Texas refused to debate his opponent during the last election cycle. His spin was that he didn't want to dignify him with his presence. None of his supporters had the least little problem with his refusal. Jack is in a good place so I think he made a wise decision to ignore the Corwin/Rove camp hoping to capture a sound bite they could twist and distort. I say give them a taste of their own medicine.

It just dawned on me this morning -- why is a Rochester paper partnering with a Buffalo TV station -- oh, yeah, Gannett.

Gotta love conglomerate thinking.

From what I saw it wasn't much of a debate to begin with. Jack Davis was wise not appear at the "debate", and given the harassment he had to deal with from Jane Corwin's campaign staff a good move.

The sponsor uninvites Ian Murphy who is on the ballot representing the Green Party, quiky yes but on the ballot and as legitimate as the Conservative Party who is represented by Jane Corwin on the ballot, then the sponsor cries foul because the station managers feeling were bruised and kept Murphy out.
