About A Matter of Opinion
This is the blog of the Dayton Daily News editorial page. Regular contributors include the journalists who work on the two-page section labeled "Opinions" in the paper. But the blog is also a forum for readers. We comment on subjects that are being written about in the newspaper, but other subjects are fair game, too.
Ellen Belcher is the Dayton Daily News opinion pages editor. She writes about state government, education, the environment, higher education and all things Dayton.
Martin Gottlieb is an editorial writer and columnist for the Dayton Daily News opinion pages. He focuses on the political process itself and does such national issues as war, the economy, taxes and Social Security, as well as a hodge-podge of local and state issues.
Scott Elliott is an editorial writer and columnist for the Dayton Daily News opinion pages. He writes about education, city and suburban issues, politics, business, workforce and consumer issues.

OK, let’s try something new:
The recent strings about the national election on this blog have been hyper partisan, to say the least. Let’s try to get away from that. It’s boring by now.
This time, in discussing the debate, the rule is this:
You must offer one criticism of each guy, or one compliment of each, or one comment that isn’t clearly in either category. If you disobey the rule, or the spirit of the rule (such as offering trivial praise or backhanded praise), the comment won’t be posted.
It’s an experiment.
Thanks for participating.
