In a more perfect world, there would be a debate today between the Democratic and Republican candidates for governor. A long-standing Virginia tradition holds that they always debate before the Virginia Bar Associationâs summer meeting. Republican Glenn Youngkin has broken with that tradition, citing some pretty flimsy excuses â moderator Judy Woodruff gave $250 to the Clinton Foundation for Haitian earthquake relief and there is no section of the debate reserved for the economy. The reality is that Youngkin is doing his best not to answer any questions at all, hoping his personal wealth can buy enough advertising that he doesnât have to actually answer questions. A company wouldnât hire an job candidate who was this evasive; voters are effectively the hiring team here and should expect more disclosure.
