Take the Poll Below
When Democrat Cory Booker agreed to debate his Republican challenger only one time, he received a lot of criticism. Booker responded by simply saying he didn't have enough time to debate Bell more than once.
After receiving continued criticism, Booker says that he is "offended" by these complaints and adds that Bell needs name reocognition and he is try ing to get it by being on the same stage with him in debates. Booker points to the fact that Bell moved to Virginia in the mid 80's and didn't move back to Jersey until this past May. He says Bell wouldn't have this name recognition problem if he had been living in NJ for the past 30 years like he's been. Booker also cites that Bell's wife hasn't moved to NJ with him as a reason why Bell doesn't deserve more than one debate. Booker would seem to suggest that this shows a lack of commitment to NJ.
Bell has responded by saying that his wife had to stay in Virginia because the job she had is supporting the both of them. Bell says the job that he had to quit to campaign for senate was responsible for 60% of their income and if his wife had to quit they would be on food stamps.
Bell also points out that when he ran for the senate in 1978, he and Bill Bradley debated 21 times. The election is in 27 days. Take a poll and let everyone know how you feel. Feel free to comment as well
