I imagine a mayorial debate between Stu and an opponent would go for most municipalities through these United States a bit like… let’s say Stu Rasmussen’s opponent is named Thaddeus Smith, for the sake of expediency.
…………………………………………….

Rasmussen:  By keeping the urban boundary in place, we will enable the town to sustain its organic beauty.  My opponent is a captive of the false dogma which holds Growth as an end in and of itself, a dogma which tends to lead to large swarths of blight as developments leads from one end of the town to another, never stopping to settle in or care about the area that was just left.

Moderator:  Mr. Smith, I leave you 30 seconds to rebut these arguments.

Smith:  [pauses.  lunges by crounching down into the microphone, grins]  Dude looks like a lady.  [Stands upright.  Says no more.]
………………………………………………

Well, it’s a thought.  It is sort of disconcerting that my imagination on the matter is hemmed in by the conventions for a bad Saturday Night Live parody sketch.
