Walker To Debate. Can the Koch brothers come too?

(Madison, WI) – Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker(R) has agreed to as many as two debates in the short, upcoming recall campaign aimed at removing him from office.

Speaking to reporters Friday morning near Milwaukee, Walker said although the special election campaign will only be a month long, he thinks it’s reasonable to have a couple of debates.

Referring to the current Democratic primary, Walker said Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett(D) agreed “to two televised debates – that would be something on par with what we’d do as well.”

Unlike many incumbents Walker seems eager to debate particularly if his opponent is Barrett. Since 2010 Barrett has used some of the provisions in Walker’s controversial collective bargaining reforms to help balance his city’s budget.

by me. I hope it is covered by national tv and Scotty gets his nose bloodied some nasty, twice. Let the truth be known, he is a lier and a petty tool of Koch bros, etc.
