This post is not going to be at all about the debate that took place in Duluth this morning. Fact is I did not go to it so at this point I don't know how it went. This post will focus on the fact that the debate was missing something/some one.
Now I know that the chamber had been setting this up as a debate between Governor Dayton and republican challenger Jeff Johnson. Fact is they totally disregarded another choice for Governor and that was independent candidate Hannah Nicollet. Now it may not have been a big deal to some but for me it is, regardless of your political stand all major voices should be heard. The independents does major status in Minnesota and there for should have had there candidate in this debate. After all she was in the other two prior debates in Rochester and Moorehead Minnesota.
Not only was she in them but she did well in them according to many sources for all walks of the political life. I just strongly believe that all candidates should have the right to take part in a debate.
Now why would the chamber not include her, I don't know for sure. There sure are many possibility's, they have a political bend they wanted to protect? The chamber does not believe she is in a major party or viable candidate. Neither of these should be something the chamber should decide. They don't like her? Don't like the party? ect....
The chamber said that they would not include her because it would be distrustful, to the other candidates. What a complete joke. The chamber made a bad decision in not allowing her to debate today, it angered many people again of all political aisles. Many did not attend debate because of this.
