Technical difficulties derailed our plans to post during Shelby County sheriff's debate.
See below for quick thoughts posted onto Twitter. I'm working up a separate for the website and will post more later.
1. May need to start calling Wade just 'W' for George W. Bush-esque habit of speaking. Best (worst?) today was referring to 'Alabama' immigration law.
2. Wasn't fair in '60 w/Nixon either, but boy TV lights made Oldham sweat. Hard not to recall his heart issues when saw that.
3. On substance, very little changed. Wade pushes community support, deputies endorsing him, jail alternatives for nonviolent offenders.
4. Oldham stresses experience as law enforcement leader @ MPD & as chief deputy, points to Wade's lack of command experience.
5. Immigration question interesting. It revealed Oldham toes conservative GOP line & Wade calls AZ law racist and unconstitutional.
6. But mostly, Wade & Oldham were polite and friendly. Oldham even asked Wade how he liked 1 month of married life.
7. Finally, speaks volumes of 9thDistrict: Oldham rejected quasi-Herenton endorsement, Wade giddy Oldham got it.
