Keep a tight grip on that script, your security blanket, Jim; it wants to get away. Better still, get rid of it and keep eye contact with the camera and your audience.
I agree with PJR in ranking but I will say why:
Elaine and Jim are the best for attacking from different angles! Where as Mark repeated himself I think he said that he met people that moved here atleast 3 times during this almost 9 minute debate alone! I love ya Mark but change it up!
Mark and Elaine were close but Elaine is a tough cookie and holds to the facts without making too many bold claims! Very professional and, in my opinion, is winning the debates to date!
Also, if you didn’t see the video above and had to read a scripted version of what was said than I beleive Jim would have moved up to first or second! Jim’s speeches are scripted but some people need to do this and aren’t as good at public speaking as others! Content wise Elaine and Jim had more relevant information to the topic; saying you want to hold the fort or steady the course during a time of economic uncertainty is somewhat ignorant to proven educated facts! Our economic and social climates require immediate changes!
