Savannah debate show more similarities than differences | savannahnow.com

There was no debate and very little disagreement when the four candidates for the post of chairman of the Georgia Republican state committee met Saturday afternoon at the Coastal Georgia Center near downtown Savannah.

Sponsored by the Georgia Republican Assembly and hosted by the Chatham County Republican Party, the event, which drew about 65 observers on the rainy weekend afternoon, was billed as a debate.

It was hardly that. It was more akin to a candidates’ forum where the participants are allowed to speak unchallenged. Even then there wasn’t much to challenge.

Instead of highlighting any difference between the four men, the event underscored the similarities of how the candidates said they would administer the office, raise funds, communicate with grass-roots organizers on the county level, recruit new blood to the party and engage with state legislators and Gov. Nathan Deal.
