Final Indiana gubernatorial debate

Posted:

Indiana Gubernatorial candidates debated for the last time Thursday.

John Gregg, Mike Pence and Rupert Boneham were in Fort Wayne.
The debate started by discussing Richard Mourdock's rape comment.
Gregg claimed Pence and Mourdock share the same position on abortion.
While Pence says he's urging Mourdock to apologize for his remarks.
The candidates also answered questions on creationism education, the budget and jobs.
Another hot topic, the auto industry bailout.

"When the auto bailout came around it seemed to be more of the same. You like to frame this thing that it was a choice between doing the auto bailout or doing nothing. John you know that is just not true. We had an opportunity to provide a backstop federal guarantee," said Republican gubernatorial candidate Mike Pence.

"Congressman it wasn't a bailout and everybody at the GM plant needs to know that if you had your way that would be empty right now. Congressman this is my minute right now..If you don't mind. We follow the rules in Indiana. If we followed you plan that would be the world's biggest indoor flea market," said Democrat gubernatorial candidate John Gregg.

Libertarian candidate Rupert Boneham spoke about how businesses need to be on a level playing field.
