“Why is Narcisse not in the debates? Regardless of what your poll may say, he will make the debate worth listening to. If he’s not in, Iowans learn zero from your exercise.”

There is no mistaking that the publicly funded Iowa Public Television is abdicating their charter in service to Iowans by excluding Narcisse from the so called debates.

The cover up that the status quo has no solutions is being perpetuated by IPTV’s actions.  All who support IPTV financially should be very concerned as to what your investment is perpetuating in Iowa.

Technologically, this YouTube page IPTV is part of with the Des Moines Register, is impressive.

Enlarging the Conversation: Why JonathanNarcisse Matters in the Iowa Gubernatorial Race

by Jeff Ignatius | RiverCitiesReader.com

Given the density of Jonathan Narcisse’s ideas and plans, he’s smart to dispense the easy-to-grasp metaphor or example.

“Imagine you have a kid who hasn’t cleaned his room for six months,” Narcisse said in a phone interview last week. “And you can try to go in and you can try to clean the room. Or you can get some heavy-duty garbage bags and just go through that room and basically throw everything away, except the bed, the dresser, and a couple other things.”

The 47-year-old Narcisse, a former member of the Des Moines school board, is running an independent candidacy for Iowa governor, appearing on the ballot under The Iowa Party banner. And he wants to approach Iowa state government with some heavy-duty garbage bags in hand.

“The two candidates spent much of the hour long debate attacking each other, at times they barely answered the questions and took swings at each other instead.” – KCRG

“We’re going to have a brain suck.” – Governor Chester Culver

The Des Moines Register’s Kathie Obradovich posted this blog following the so called debate:

Gov debate: A brain suck might be more fun

Sioux City, Ia. — Gov. Chet Culver said during tonight’’s debate that instead of a brain drain in Iowa, “we’re going to have a brain suck.”

That sounds like a more pleasant experience than watching the one-hour governor’s candidate debate between the Democratic incumbent and Republican Terry Branstad.

The two candidates were at each other’s throats from the very first minute. They exchanged allegations of tax increases, mismanagement, prolific borrowing. Each accused the other of stretching the truth.

I live-tweeted tonight. You can follow me at Twitter.com/kobradovich. Also check out the Register’s coverage on Iowa Politics Insider.

Neither candidate escaped the mud bath. Branstad’s ugliest attack came during an exchange over the salmonella outbreak traced to an Iowa egg farm owned by Austin “Jack” DeCoster.
