Politics West: "GOP Senate candidate Bob Schaffer is challenging rival Democratic candidate Mark Udall to a series of seven 'Lincoln-Douglas style debates around Colorado between Memorial Day and Labor Day,' according to a letter released today by Schaffer campaign manager Dick Wadhams."
More coverage from The Rocky Mountain News. From the article:
U.S. Senate candidates Bob Schaffer and Mark Udall have found one thing - one of the few things - they can agree upon: They definitely will debate. Whether they can agree on when, where and how remains to be seen. In a rare joint appearance, U.S. Rep. Udall, a Democrat, and former Rep. Schaffer, a Republican, both spoke Friday to the South East Business Partnership annual luncheon, although they didn't share the podium and refused to pose together for a photo. Schaffer told the group he wants seven unmoderated Lincoln-Douglas-style debates over the summer, a proposal he put in a letter he gave to Udall at the luncheon. "I think you'll agree that holding our own debates, on our own terms, focusing on issues upon which we agree to debate is a sensible strategy," Schaffer wrote. "I think these debates could be the high-water mark of the campaign and perhaps renew a national and historic standard of campaign activity."
