Alissa and I and several others from our group went to the Kratovil vs. Harris congressional debate at Cecil College tonight. If you get a chance, I would suggest meeting, or attending something with these two candidates. The difference between them is stark. Having not met or seen either of them before in person, I did not know what to expect. Most of the debate between them pretty much resembeled the debate we have been seeing on the national stage between Obama and McCain. It was almost eerie how the personalities mirrored, to a large degree, that of Obama and McCain. Andy Harris comes across as condescending, arrogant, and nasty. About the kindest word I could use to describe his stage presence and word choices is "smug". On the other hand, Kratovil came across as a generally nice guy that was calm and genuine in his answers (although he fumbeled his words a few times). In the end what it came down to was that Kratovil stood up there throughout the debate advocating for the middle class, while Harris seemed more concerned with his "Club For Growth" priorities of repealing capital gains taxes.
