Republican Mike Flood and Democrat Chris Backemeyer were set to face off in a statewide televised debate organized by major news outlets, but their campaigns are locked in a public feud over timing. Flood’s team wants September, before early voting begins; Backemeyer’s prefers October, closer to Election Day. Accusations fly: Flood claims Backemeyer dodged the debate, while Backemeyer counters that Flood rejected another debate offer from the League of Women Voters and is avoiding tough questions about his record. Flood’s camp calls Backemeyer’s stance “Back-Track Backemeyer,” while organizers scramble to find common ground before November 3rd. The battle for voters’ attention is already louder than the issues. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
