Karcher v Beck debate

Submitted by magixmaker on October 27, 2007 - 11:06pm.

An accomplished ethical lady (Karcher)vs a shrill partisan do nothing (Beck) Previews show Beck lying and getting flustered because she is caught in the lies. Karcher is forceful and at ease,

Karcher wins

I'm not sure if I should say Karcher overwhelmed in the debate as much as Beck, eloquent though she might be, underwhelmed. Beck was constantly on the defensive about her driving violations, her failure to fund property taxes, and other issues, which translates into Karcher getting her message across while Beck dodged and weaved through the debate.
