I listened to part of it and I completely agree with vision63's assessment. Meg did not debate at all or respond to the questions. She just replayed her TV commercials (note that for her very first response the questioner immediately stated "you didn't answer my question" and Jerry commented on "that TV commercial I've already heard ad nauseum" in responding to what she had said. Her responses in several cases were completely nonsensical non sequiturs. On how she would deal with Sacramento's inability to put out a timely budget and fix Sacramento's budget issues, her solution was to reduce taxes (including the "factory tax"??) and reform welfare. WTF??!!... solve the problem of not enough tax revenue by reducing tax revenue?? You might not like Jerry's solution but at least it made some sense and he came off as sincere and open. Meg came off as insincere and stonewalling the entire debate process.
