MAVOCKE--Two female senators, hailing from opposite corners of the country, and both rising stars in their parties, squared off this morning about the forthcoming election on the GBC's Sunday Tea.
Sens. Cathy De Beers (C-Monomi) and Karen Coriano (N-Carova) took the opportunity to talk up their respective party's advantages in the election.
"When you look at the poll numbers in virtually every state, we are leading, independent voters are breaking for the NAT by a 2-1 margin. I think the Nationalist Party is in for an astounding victory this election," Coriano said.
"Voters are finally getting a clue...that the Conservative Party has failed to deliver on any of its promises, and electing a Conservative majority in the bodies is not going to move our country forward, it's going to drag our country backwards," Coriano said.
De Beers acknowledged her Conservative Party is facing difficult poll numbers, but pointed out that strong Conservative candidates and special elections are helping the CNS minimize the damage.
"We are facing tough poll numbers in certain states and electorates, there's no doubt about that. But we have some strong incumbents across this country that are putting up a real fight. People like Greg Baxter and Dana Glow and Nancy Lindselli. And we have strong challengers too, like Luke Gymbal, Dan Wainwright, Adam Lanman, etc."
Special elections in North Ceona and South Ceona are also likely to favor the CNS in the Senate races, De Beers claimed.
Special elections in Marchenay, POG and Onakiah, however, favor the NAT.
Host Allison Gerlach pressed De Beers on projections that the Senate will fall into NAT hands.
"Your party may be favored in the Ceonas, but what about these other three states where they are actually unlikely to pick up very many seats? Isn't that disconcerting to you at all?" Gerlach asked.
"You know Allison, we can sit here and speculate all we want. But the only numbers that actually matter are those that come in on Election day," De Beers said.
