Jeff and Denice its obvious neither is going to budge on your choice for moderator. Lets move on and find someone else ASAP. I myself changed travel plans to attend tonight so please pick somebody! Worst case scenario we can all meet at the Colonial and have an impromptu open forum.

I dont understand why Hansen would not let the Patch moderate this debate and would rather have his friend moderate. Most of the articles on this website favor the republicans so I would think it would be in his advantage. I guess he never wanted to debate in the first place so he keeps making excuses.

At this point what difference does it make. Only voters from both camps will attend to cheer their candidate Friday. Most of the town doesn't have clue who the candidates are. Those that are informed already know who they are voting for..

That's the point of the debate so folks can get a clue in an open and enthusiastic forum. Cheering will happen in any community gathering of this nature. Nothing wrong with it if it's respectful and appropriate.

Hansen's obstinance on having "his choice" of a moderator for the debate is INEXCUSABLE! Since when in the history of debating does one side get to make an arbitrary choice for HIS moderator or REFUSE TO PARTICIPATE??......He said if he does not hear back from DiCarlo before the debate, he will show up with Patrick Vilary, his choice of a moderator.....are you kidding me???? Why is he hiding behind his friend for this debate at the expense of the public??? Why is he afraid to have a respected member of the non partisan press moderate??? I'm voting for Denice dicarlo.

Dave, I say we meet at the Telford Inn. Those prime rib sandwiches are to die for. LoL

John..obviously, comprehension isn't yours. Dicarlo met with with every single one of his requests with the exception of a hand picked moderator. Do your homework genius.

If I am not mistaken I believe both sides have to agree on the moderator despite where they come from. If someone is from the press doesnt mean they are the default choice. In this case both candidates should have dropped both preferences and moved on. All of this great smart unbiased people in this community surely there is one. And I am not saying either of the chosen were biased in anyway. It's just ashame we are not going to have this forum tonight. Raking leaves until dark and then the Telford I guess for prime rib sandwich.

Dicarlo refused,Hansen refused. now we won't know who the master debater is.

Denny Forte wouldnt let Hansen debate because he knew what the outcome would be. Hansen has been delaying this September now the night of the debate he wont let an independent newpaper editor moderate. What a shame for the residents. That's what you get with Hansen, disappointment.

Admit the truth! Jeff Hansen is scared to debate cause he cannot answer any issues put to him! Odd how ms.dicarlo is willing to debate but mr.hansen won't! WHY? Who knows! Only Jeff can answer that! Not to late to change your mind, mr.hansen!!!

John....Hansen refused to debate if the moderator was not HIS choice. Period. Dicarlo would have.. as long as the moderator wasn't solely his choice. (It didn't HAVE to be her choice..just one they agreed on.) He refused to discuss any other options & this debate will not take place because Hansen has put one obstacle after another in the way of its occurrence.
@ humpy dumpy...LOL!

Don't forget Denise started this conversation in August and Jeff was too busy for the entire months of September and October to debate her. They must be the busy seasons for brick sales.

it's a no brainer.hansen doesn't need to debate he's the hands down winner,according to the political guru and what my tarot card reader told me last night.she also told me Dicarlo has her sights on bigger and better things running on the county level ( freeholder )

I don't need a debate. I know who I am voting for already. It's not the candidate who keeps pounding their chest on being a professional, not the candidate who is a party hack with delusions of grandeur. Not the candidate who obeys their Puppet Master.
I am voting for the candidate who is a decent and honest person... a resident who is looking out for the good of West Deptford. That person is:

J E F F H A N S O N ***** J E F F H A N S O N ***** J E F F H A N S O N
J E F F H A N S O N ***** J E F F H A N S O N ***** J E F F H A N S O N
J E F F H A N S O N ***** J E F F H A N S O N ***** J E F F H A N S O N
J E F F H A N S O N ***** J E F F H A N S O N ***** J E F F H A N S O N

Daisy duke; you are a joker and a half! Please get your stories right. You and the republicans are running scared. Just admit it and you will be mind free!

So Denise where were you????? Jeff Hansen was at the debate tonight, where were you???? We had D's and R's there waiting for you. You have again let us down, you are totally unreliable. The Gloucester County Times were there to report and were quite confused as to why you didn't show up. Afraid that more of your lies were going to be exposed maybe?

DENISE A NO SHOW FOR THE DEBATE A LOT OF DEMOCRATS WERE IMPRESSED WITH HANSEN COMMENTARY.
DENISE JUST LOST FOR SHORE.
A LANDSLIDE VICTORY FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF WEST DEPTFORD.
DONNA YOU CAN TURN YOUR RESIGNATION WED.NOV 7TH.

I went to Riverwinds to listen to a debate. Hansen with the moderator showed up and answered questions from the audience of a number of people. Committewoman DiCarlo did not show up. A reporter from Times was present. Where was the Patch? See Photo.
