Debates Tonight (Friday, 10/8)

Just a reminder that in addition to tonight's Senatorial debate being held in Milwaukee between incumbent Dem Russ Feingold and GOP new-comer Ron Johnson;

Attorney General JB Van Hollen and his Democrat challenger Scott Hassett will square off tonight on PBS as well.

7:30 PBS "Here and Now" - (R) Van Hollen vs. (D) Hassett
8:00 CBS Senate Debate - (R) Johnson vs. (D) Feingold

Finally the article I posted is supposed to be in conjunction with the following as an effort to sort of create a juxtaposition between the style and strategy employed by the two candidates.

Feingold seems to be out there shamelessly self promoting in an effort to turn out voters, while Johnson seems to be shamefully avoiding debates and the press in an effort to contain and control his image.

Either way I think a lot can be gained or lost by both candidates tonight, should make for an interesting debate!
