Here's some video from the debate between SD-55 challenger David Nachbar, a guy who has actually created jobs upstate, and GOP incumbent Jim Alesi, who has not.
This segment includes both candidate's opening statements as well as their responses to the moderator's first question. I like the producer's use of a split screen for long sequences. Pay attention to Alesi. He looks like he really doesn't even want to be there.
To say that Nachbar outclasses Alesi in both style and intellect is something of an understatement...
