Whalen challenges Herseth to debate

Sibby Online notes a challenge to debate from GOP House candidate Bruce Whalen of Pine Ridge thrown into the ring in a Dave Kranz column.

Personally the Chief thinks that the use of debates in campaigning at all levels would be highly instructive – BUT – the debates should be Lincoln-Douglas style, NOT the contemporary “moderated” and highly ritualized events that pass for “debates”.

Oh well. Just a thought. I would be HIGHLY surprised if real debates were held, but it would be a nice change.
