Wisconsin State Journal: “The two candidates for Wisconsin Supreme Court will debate for the first time today — but it won ‘t be face to face. The candidates will square off during a one-hour Internet radio debate hosted by a UW-Milwaukee student.
The debate is thought to be the first of its kind in a Wisconsin political race, said Kyle Duerstein, the journalism student who is hosting the program. Listeners will be able to hear the candidates debate and call in with questions. It will be the first forum featuring both candidates.”
I’d love to know the back story on this. Was there no interest in such a debate by mainstream media? Did Mr. Duerstein just ask the candidates and they agreed? [Thanks, Jackie]
Update: WRN News Director Bob Hague talked with Mr. Duerstein about the debate.
