Saskatchewan Election Leader's Debate Tomorrow Night
UPDATE: October 30th, 2007 - Leadership Debate Tonight!
The leaders of Saskatchewan’s three major political parties will take part in the only scheduled ‘Leader’s Debate’ of the 2007 election campaign tonight.
RAW NOTES AS DEBATE UNDERWAY:
The overall format is not tight .... a bit of a verbal Donneybrook during the first 12 minutes.
Karwacki very aggressive and not allowing Calvert or Wall to get a word in edgewise. Almost too aggressive ... but this is his third election and he wants a seat!!
The host is very weak ... first 45 minutes pretty much a three way free for all ....
Calvert goes after Wall on ‘Enterprise Saskatchewan’
Karwacki putting the boots to Wall and his ‘I don’t know’ response to everything like the MLA benefits package and his candidate’s departure in Regina ...
"David Karwacki was an impediment to debate tonight"
