I organized a debate between Chuck Pennacchio and Jim Clymer. I'm sure everyone here knows who Chuck Pennacchio is. Jim Clymer is a local conservative. He is the national chairman of the Constitution Party and was their candidate for U.S. Senate against Arlen Specter last year. The topic of the evening was whether or not there is a Constitutional right to privacy. We had a great turnout for the event. A friend of mine who is strongly Libertarian said that he felt that both speakers were good but Chuck was clearly the winner. I have to say myself that I went from being an undecided voter to a Pennachio supporter.
You can hear the audio of the debate here. I have a couple photos below.
Our moderator for the evening was Sam Mecum. He is the Democratic candidate for judge of the Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas. This is the first time a Democrat has had a chance to win a judges race in Republican Lancaster County. Sam's opponent was deputy to Ernie Preate. Preate was the PA attorney General who resigned after a bit of a scandal.
