| Congressional candidate and Iraq war opponent Phil Dunkelbarger has challenged the man he calls "the Duckster" Congressman Stephen Lynch (a member of a Royal Chicken Coop to the right and in general an Iraq war proponent), right here on BMG.
Here is Dunkelbarger's comment posted this evening:
In the September 7th edition of the Dorchester Reporter Stephen Lynch said, "There's not a lot of time between now and the [September 19 primary], but there could be another opportunity for a debate if we could work out a date."
Well, working out a date is no problem for me; any time, any place. If the Duckster has finally been shamed into a debate, the Dunkster is ready.
It is curious to me that he wouldn't contact us directly, to suggest a time and place. I hope he's serious.
We'll be suggesting a televised debate. Of the regional media, encompassing the whole of the 9th District, NECN has given this race the most coverage. Curtis, Braude, and Sahl are all seasoned, respected TV journalists who could organize a fair program which would maximize the opportunity for an infomed vote on the 19th. TV also reduces the logistical obstacles, where the debate could be taped whenever mutually convenient and aired later.
Anyway, if you'd like to see this debate, even a fraction as much as I'd like to do it, please blog for it. Thanks.
