Lieberman Agrees To Debate

From Ned Lamon’t Blog:

Mark your calendars.

After months of ducking the debate question, Senator Lieberman’s handlers have finally agreed to a date. July 6.

This is yet another sign that Senator Lieberman is in trouble, and our campaign looks forward to discussing the issues that matter to the people in Connecticut: the war in Iraq, universal health care, the Bush energy policy, judicial nominees, protecting social security and more. Debating the issues will be a welcome respite from the senator’s angry, desperate attack ads.

How many debates? Well, this is the only one they’ve accepted so far, and we look forward to having debates as often as the senator decides to visit Connecticut.
