I appreciated the opportunity to attend last nights debate between the two candidates for congressional district 3. I thought the moderators did a fairly good job of maintaining the decorum and fairness of the debate, especially where the audience was concerned. However when MGP veered off on Ad hominem attacks on Mr. Kent's character the moderators were silent. However the Audience was not so much. Prime example; MGP began her final 2 minute summary with words to the effect that Joe Kent is just a horrrible person which elicited a loud reaction from the audience. The judge was quick to reprimand the audience, but MGP's obvious "un-civil" dialogue was apparently not recognizedly the moderators.
