Live Blog - WHYY Debate

7:56 pm I don't know why British people think they are so funny.

8:00 pm If Nancy asks for money, I'm outta here.

8:01 pm Long discussion period (8 minutes) - this is going to drag.

8:02 pm Frank Infante sells out with a necktie!!

8:03 pm I can't wait for Ruth Ann to dig her way out of this hole.

8:04 pm Why do we train firemen?!? This is better than I thought!

8:06 pm Interesting point. Why does it take three months to become indignant about this statement?

8:08 pm They were not fully staffed that day. Her report shows that one person was not there.

8:09 pm Infante is right. COAD has spoken - they endorsed Lee.

8:11 pm Final comment - slam dunk.

8:12 pm Infante gets to set Minner up on this question, Lee gets to knock her down.

8:13 pm Sat Test? Doesn't Minner read my stuff? S. A. T.

8:14 pm First I've heard of the 36% of college age kids in college. Great stat to throw out.

8:16 pm Minner telling us about English as a Second Language, in a stilted dialect that isn't quite English.

8:20 pm Is Minner claiming now that saving flu shots for the elderly is her idea?

8:24 pm Lee has a novel idea - someone other than the State paying for drugs.

8:25 pm Hey Ruth Ann, if the idea Lee just mentioned was yours, why didn't you say it first?

8:27 pm Good idea Mr. Infante, asking for more prescription drugs than you need. Who wants Vicodin?

8:28 pm DSTP is graded on a curve!!! Dodge that!

8:30 pm Did Infante just say people in Sussex County don't live the same lifestyle as other people?

8:31 pm Minner is rewriting history again. She fought like a wet cat to keep the three-tier in place.

8:33 pm Excellent point. Giving a test unique to the state of Delaware doesn't show us how smart we are compared to other states.

8:34 pm How is it every question asked turns into table gaming for Frank Infante?

8:38 pm Does Ruth Ann know she can't take credit for the General Assembly?

8:43 pm State Police? This is a little juicier...

8:44 pm This is a stunning admission from the Governor, who in the past has said she had nothing to do with the hiring processes at the Delaware State Police. She now says that hiring and promotions have gone through her strict guidelines.

8:46 pm Finally, someone recognizes that the state is an ATM for Police Officers.

8:49 pm Crushing blow from Infante - the Minner administration is blowing taxpayer money with every lawsuit they settle.

8:51 pm How could Minner have cut $350 million from the bureaucracy and still had a budget increase every year? Where are the results?

8:53 pm Ruth Ann's closing has been the same for every event I've seen - and she's lost every event. Not good planning.

8:55 pm Hey, where's the Infante Story? I wouldn't mind hearing what his crazy relative has to say.

8:57 pm Wow. Where's your endorsement now, Ruth Ann?
