Dueling Videos: Wynn-Edwards Round II

Walking into the auditorium of Blair HS last night to watch the Fourth Congressional District of Maryland debate sponsored by the Greater Silver Spring Democratic Club I took my seat and looked around the room where video cameras, camcorders, and digital cameras were everywhere. I could not help think back to the debate at PG CC on August 16, 2006 where Wynn staffers went after an Edwards supporter and it was caught on videotape. That one single incident changed the dynamics of the 2006 primary race more than any other event. And it was not even the candidates themselves. Since then it seems both sides are recording everything to protect themselves and record their opponent. Well why not let the campaigns get their message out here? Call it dueling videos.

A quick review of YouTube found several videos from both sides that outline their positions. Here is a link to a recent Donna Edwards video as well as one from a Wynn fundraiser with the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, supporting Al Wynn.

This blog space could be used to regularly post videos from the candidates outlining their positions. So I ask now do any of the candidates have copies of the debate that they want to share. Our viewership at Maryland Politics Watch (MPW) is around 230 hits a day and climbing. We are among the top blogs for Maryland Politics. This is the largest race we will have where the candidates are here to talk the issues. (The Presidential candidates come here to raise money.)

There are only 106 days to the election. Outline here via videos and comments why you should be the next Congressional Representative from Maryland Four. So here is your chance to educate the voters; ball is in your court.

Ground rules for Wynn-Edwards II: at the debate there were only a dozen of the 150 people who were undecided on this contest. Both sides have large pools of supporters that feel passionately about their candidate. Let's keep things civil. I will have little tolerance for people that post personal attacks and don't have the guts to sign their real name to it. This blog, unlike others, has contributors that sign their name. So do the same or risk having your remarks deleted.
