Some quick notes on the @pinalpartnership hosted debate between @jeffflake and @carmonaforaz from this morning.
Debate participants including moderator @brahmresnik were introduced by @roselawgroup‘s Jordan Rose.
@jeffflake calls current debt situation “generational theft of the highest order.” #AZSenateDebate
@CarmonaForAZ tells incredible life story and tells how army service led to his educational opportunities. #AZSenateDebate
@JeffFlake tells group that ethanol and other farm subsidies must go. #AZSenateDebate
Debate between @JeffFlake and @CarmonaForAZ was intense and heated. Made Biden look low key at times. #AZSenateDebate
@CarmonaForAZ accuses @JeffFlake of not doing enough for Arizona businesses. #AZSenateDebate
@JeffFlake defends record and says anti pork stance has helped AZ get more flexible money overall. #AZSenateDebate
@CarmonaForAZ accuses @JeffFlake/ Rs of politicizing healthcare. Protests against calling Affordable Care Act “Obamacare” #AZSenateDebate
@brahmresnik had to step in at one point to calm the sides down. Very heated exchanges complete with finger waging. #AZSenateDebate
Closing question asks candidates what they admire about each other: @JeffFlake jokes he likes @CarmonaForAZ‘s tie before praising his past.
Most interesting exchange could have been @CarmonaForAZ pulling out list of hearings he alleges @JeffFlake missed while in congress.
Final take on #AZSenateDebate: these guys don’t like each other and it is not just confined to their commercials.
