DeVore wins first debate
Radio station KTKZ 1380 and Eric Hogue hosted Chuck DeVore, Tom Campbell and Carly Fiorina in their first live debate for an hour.
The topics ranged from foreign policy (surrounding the controversy concerning Tom Campbell's support of Israel) to fiscal policy and government overspending.
It was clear from the outset that Chuck DeVore had a deep command of the issues. What was also clear is that Carly Fiorina and Tom Campbell could not establish their credentials as conservative Republicans. At times intense, the debate focused first on Tom Campbell and his questionable ties to Islamic extremist and past actions as a Congressman.
Chuck demonstrated his vast knowledge of foreign policy issues and laid rightful claim that he is the only true conservative in the race. At one point Assemblyman DeVore pointed out: "All of candidate fair just as well against Barbara Boxer. Why wouldn't you elect the real conservative in the race?"
Today, Tom emerged as the clear winner of first debate of the 2010 U.S. Senate race.
Time and again, Tom brought the debate back to the real national security issues facing America today, and was the only candidate to consistently take the fight directly to Senator Barbara Boxer.
Tom's record is clear: He was the only candidate to voice clear support for Israel's pre-emptive right to self-defense against the Iranian nuclear threat, and opposes the Obama Administration's plans to try the 9/11 terrorists on American soil.
On the recent whispering campaign against him -- the reason Tom called for this debate -- Tom was unequivocal: "The silent slander stops today."
So, what really matters in this campaign?
It's simple: Tom today showed he is the only candidate prepared to be a Senator on day one. He knows the issues in depth, and said that those serving in Congress must be prepared to cast unpopular votes if necessary. That's why he was rated the #1 most fiscally responsible member of Congress by the National Taxpayers Union Foundation, and that's the kind of leadership he will bring to the Senate.
