Upton vs. O'Brien debate

Here is, what I would consider, a objective review of the strategy for Michigan's 6th Congressional District held in Buchanan on October 23rd. 

O'Brien:

The strategy was clear for Mike O'Brien. Attack, attack, attack.

O'Brien, on several occasions, criticized Fred Upton for being a lifetime politician.

He tried to connect Upton to congress' low approval rating. Upton was criticized for giving tax incentives to companies that move jobs overseas and hit Upton with his inability to work with Democrats.

Upton:

Upton wasn't feisty, and didn't need to be. He's hardly ever been challenged for the congressional seat over the past 25 years.

Upton kept pointing to his own record. He highlighted the accomplishments he's made as a highly regarded member of house and stayed very calm. Also, he seemed to directly oppose O'Brien's viewpoint, saying that he is the guy that reaches across the isle.

No matter who you support in this race, both candidates seemed comfortable and prepared. It'll be a very interesting Tuesday, given polls show a deadlock between the two candidates.
