Candidates for lieutenant governor agree to debate

[TexasTowelie]

The two main candidates vying to be the next Texas lieutenant governor agreed to debate one another, but haven’t settled on a date.

The Associated Press reported Wednesday that state Sen. Dan Patrick, the Republican in the race, and state Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, the Democrat, will face off at the studios of KLRU-TV in Austin on Sept. 27.

But as it turns out, only Patrick and the AP were planning to be in attendance.

Emmanuel Garcia, spokesman for the Van de Putte campaign, said his boss had never agreed to the Sept. 27 date.

[font color=green]I hope that Van de Putte and Patrick agree to about three debates because I think that Leticia will smack Patrick every time.[/font]

2. She asked for five. Guess she's lucky the coward agreed to even one.

I love how he got a Latino dude for his spokesman.

I hope it backfires and the racist republicans in his base down here turn on him.
