The debate over debates

So with just about every TV station in town doing a Toledo mayoral debate, which one was the best?

That question is an amusing one (even though I have asked it to people).

Several people told me that the Fox Toledo/Toledo Free Press/Glass City Jungle/Columbia Gas was the best. I would like to think they are all telling me the truth, but I really doubt anyone would say: “Shaun when I think of your debate the word average comes to mind.”

Some people have told me they like the content of our debate, although it had very little name calling and not majorly heated debates.

Do you need yelling for a good debate? I say no, but do you talk more about a debate with yelling than you do a debate with civil discourse? Yeah you do.

But here’s something that corporate big wigs probably don’t want me to say: watch every station’s debate. Get all the info you can. That’s the point. We do these to inform people, not try to outdo the other stations in town.

So between you and me, ours was the best, right?
