Gerry Connolly and Keith Fimian on Saving the Chesapeake Bay

I've frequently written about how Keith Fimian will answer any question he doesn't know the answer to by using Karl Rove type tactics that suggest the world as we know it will end if the budget isn't balanced. He usually also ads that business executives like him are the only people who will do this, despite the fact that business executives played a large role in the financial situation we are currently facing. Gerry Connolly, on the other hand, has shown knowledge on a wide variety of issues and has a record of addressing the important issues during his time in public service.
A perfect example of the two different approaches comes in how they answered a question relating to the Chesapeake Bay at an environmental forum on Thursday. Keith Fimian spent almost his entire answer talking about the federal budget and then used the last few seconds saying he doesn't think we can do anything about the Bay. Gerry Connolly, however, pointed out that he has a history of working with officials from all over the region to address the issue and would continue to do so if he's elected to Congress. Here's the video of their answers.
