A Civil AffairBy JGillman, Section News
A debate is certainly something that would be interesting, were it to happen between the Republican Gubernatorial Choice, and the Democrat Virg Bernero. The colorful Bernero would undoubtedly get a few news making audio clips, and to be sure this blog would have some fun with them as well. Perhaps even with a dual edged perspective.
But it appears it won't happen. At least not anytime soon. And Bernero is not afraid of a little name calling:
Michigan gubernatorial candidate Virg Bernero went on the attack against his Republican opponent on Sunday in Ann Arbor, calling Rick Snyder a "wimp" for backing out of debates. Ouch.. that hurts! Not. In front of a friendly crowd, he might be encouraged, even expected to ad hominem a bit. Certainly the respect level from such a crowd will be greater when the vitriol level goes up. Those people feed on poison. Ask GWB for the last 8 years. Some politicos, with Bernero as no exception do not understand that the ugly should be left in the realm of the blogs however. Even I have taken a swipe of two (or three)at Snyder, but unless he has some secret polling that completely redefines his "angry base" from what is publicly known, he (Bernero) will not get any traction that way.

Virg Bernero forgets there is more to this state than a knuckle sandwich and the compulsary methods of "big labor." Forcing businesses through the hoops of his handler's rules might well be easier to accomplish than getting Snyder to cede to a debate format that will be flush with a pro chicken fight format. Clawing the eyes out might be on ol Virge's mind but Snyder is likely to want it kept on a comfortable basis.
It probably won't happen? But that doesn't mean Lansing's lefty wont try and taunt him out. His camp is already pushing the TV and radio stations to ask Snyder for multiple debates before November. I suppose his strategy would be to shame Snyder out. Somewhat like the schoolyard bully however based on his "wimp comment." It probably will work. At some point, I would expect that we'll see a debate. It will be a spectacle. Imagine the full blown glory of a Don King production(who I really like) with the "lets get ready to rumble" booming mic announcing the contenders, complete with nicknames and a mention of their tough neighborhood roots. The crowd would go crazy, and pay-per-view will never see such a profitable enterprise. School yard bully indeed. You know, It wouldn't surprise this writer if the Lansing "Don" hasn't already begun debates with a stress pillow and a mirror.. Just to be ready. ..complete with a couple of "I double dare yas."
