Overshadowed slightly by the 2nd Presidential Debate, North Carolina's gubernatorial debate also occurred Tuesday night, with both candidates showing no reservations at starting conflict. Democratic Lt. Gov. Walter Dalton was the primary aggressor, trying to paint Republican Pat McCrory, former mayor of Charlotte, as someone who does not have the public's interests at heart. McCrory, the clear frontrunner in the election, only had to parry Dalton's accusations, countering with an optimistic message for state of North Carolina, and trying to keep a positive presense when compared to the aggressive style of Dalton.
The candidates were divided on issues such as the Racial Justice Act, an act that lets death row inmates appeal their conviction because of possible racial bias on juries. Additionally, the candidates' stance on education and taxation gives the voters a clear choice of who to vote for come election day.
