No new twists in second Barbour-Eaves debate

The Clarion-Ledger, 10/5/7

Verbal attacks remained the same Thursday night between Republican incumbent Gov. Haley Barbour and Democratic challenger John Arthur Eaves Jr. in their second debate of the campaign season.

But some of those attending said they had hoped to hear more about the issues facing Mississippians.

In an hourlong question-and-answer format, the candidates quizzed each other on topics, including Barbour’s blind trust and Eaves’ stance on tort reform.

They also blasted each others’ political allies and campaign coffers.
