NJ coverage of House Debate pretty thin, or the debate was thin

I guess the NJ’s Adam Duvernay was expecting some fireworks.

The candidates didn’t throw a single punch Tuesday night.

At the University of Delaware College Democrats’ debate inside Mitchell Hall on campus, three of the four Democrats running for the state’s single congressional seat agreed on almost every point.

On the Dow Chemical-DuPont merger, the only issue I have lingering questions for Townsend, Duvernay doesn’t give much:

The Dow Chemical-DuPont merger was a sticky issue, the candidates said, though the deal to keep part of the company here was important and necessary for Delaware. Townsend, who actually had a say in the deal, said the future of such policies must remain focused on measurable outcomes so the money the government offers such companies doesn’t go to waste.

My sense is that Townsend got his arm twisted pretty good on that one, but who knows.

Based on this News Journal piece, Mike Miller (by virtue of the fact that he is treated as a legitimate third voice) appears to come out ahead.
