The Great Debate

Texas voters entitled to exchange of ideas

Governor Rick Perry is still refusing to participate in the gubernatorial debate. However, the opposing candidate Bill White is willing to hold the debate anytime and anywhere. It appears as though Jay Janner, the author of this article is bothered by Perry's refusal. He thinks that Texan's deserve a debate. Perry is portrayed as a bully, and is using the debate as leverage to force his opponents into doing whatever it is he wants them too. Jay says,"Candidates for governor owe voters unrehearsed answers to questions about issues facing the state." I am inclined to agree with him. The hour long debate will go on with or without Perry. Sense Perry won't be present Bill White will have an interview rather than a debate. Janner projects himself as a logical thinker, and more than likely a credible source. He writes with facts, proof, and adds little of his own commentary. The article is unbiased for the most part although, Janner's disappointment is blatantly implied throughout his posting. The audience he targets is very general and aimed at anyone who is participating in the upcoming election.
