Bowen Versus Dobbins (October 02)

Sounds to me that people need to turn out for the debate to see what these two candidates are all about.

Shhh. Listen closely! That steady sucking sound you hear is Bowen's political future vortexing right down the proverbial drain. This guy's election was a fluke and he will without a doubt be a one hit wonder. Dobbins is polling strong and will throttle Bowen on November 4th. Throw party out the window on this one. Dobbins is old line Anderson and carpetbagger Bowen's undistinguished two years in Columbia will earn him the coveted position of former legislator come January.

I hope that many readers will realize that attending this debate is a golden and rare opportunity to learn the positions of these two candidates.

While I do not question Mr. Don Bowen character or commitment to public service, I have personally encountered his reluctance to answer questions and make his views public. In addition, I have been informed that other groups have failed to gain his agreement to engage in political debates with his opponent, Dr. Tom Dobbins.

On the other hand, Dr. Tom Dobbins is relatively new to the political arena in Anderson County. And although he is very vocal and eager to make his views public, very few truly know where he stands on the issues.

So, I hope many will attend and ask the relevant questions, civilly and respectfully. However, I do not expect a large turnout.
