I haven't listened to it yet, but I have always found your arguments against the PPA a bit strange. Not wrong necessarily, just that I disagreed with them. From what I've seen, their decisions are usually pragmatic. They haven't been effective, because it's such an uphill battle, but I could usually understand their reasoning in how they approached their decisions. They haven't always been forthcoming as to their agenda and matters of financing, but I could understand why, as their mission has changed as the climate has changed.
I am really surprised that most think you lost the debate decisively, as I don't find him very good on his radio show, and I don't find him great at spin at all. I find you a very good communicator and effective debater, so I'm anxious to hear if I agree with most here. He must have really improved, or it's an overreaction that someone simply held their own against you and most are viewing that as a win. The lawyer that posts on 2+2(can't recall his screenname right now) seems very quick, and I thought he would give you trouble, but not Rich. I always found Rich lacking real effective communication skills, and that his biggest strength was simply his dogged persistence, even before he was being paid.
I'll listen tonight and form my own opinion.
edit-now that I look closer, most think you lost probably isn't accurate. A few think you have lost is more appropriate as only a few have weighed in.
