Final Debate - Murray v. Rossi Plays Dodgeball

The final showdown in Seattle on Sunday was like Dodge City quoted by writer “Jordan Schrader.” Seem like both candidates were dodging questions regarding themselves. When the questions about Medicare and the raising of the age requirements for social security came up, both candidates strayed away from answering the question, but they both said that they would review the recommendations of a bipartisan commission due to come out after the elections.

I like Murray's comments to the fact that she said something like not making promises on how they are going to make a change. I think she is being honest and only wants to do the best job that she can do while in office. As for tax cuts or the George W. Bush’s tax cuts as they call it, their answer was pretty much the same. Which they agree tax cuts to lower and middle class earners should be extended.

I also admire Rossi for not taking a position on the "don't ask, don't tell policy" yet until he gets the latest update from it. It must be because he wants to make the best, most informed decision based on facts, not just an opinion or morals. Also, during the debate he was genuinely worried about the jobs of citizens being jeapordized. Several times he mentioned how Murray's decisions might  negatively effect them.

They continue to attack one another like they have done in the other last two debates. Such as Murray saying “The people who are working to fix the Howard Hanson Dam right now, he’s going to give them a pink slip.” And Rossi pointing out Murray's earmarking and saying "the other Washington has changed her." Even when watching television when I see the ads that they have put out against one another is becoming ridiculous and annoying. I’m sure like myself other voters are getting sick of them attacking one another. I thought the elections was about what they can do for our state and for us, not attacking one another which takes from the main focus of what they are there to represents.
