The big media event today was the debate beetween Dr. Carl Mumpower and Heath Shuler, candidates for the 11th District Congressional seat. Talk show host Matt Mittan served as moderator on his afternoon drive-time program. It is available as a podcast here. Representative Charles Thomas called in on the Matt Phone to comment afterward. He regretted that neither candidate produced legislation that they would propose. He also pointed out that vote tallies are lame statistics because most votes are to recess or for feel-good proclamations. Libertarian Keith Smith did not take part in the debate.
