Koch Bros. US Senate candidate Wehby refuses to debate Senator Merkley (D-OR) [View all]

Not too surprising. I wouldn't want to debate Merkley either if I was a Koch-Bros-funded nitwit, a stalker, known primarily for her plagiarism and sleazy attack ads.


Wehby refuses invitation to debate Merkley
by John Tierney * Statesman Journal * Sept. 26, 2014

PORTLAND, Ore. – Dr. Monica Wehby has refused an invitation from KGW and The Oregonian to appear in a televised debate against Sen. Jeff Merkley.

Wehby, the Republican candidate, is trying to knock Merkley, a Democrat, out of his U.S. Senate seat in November's election.

KGW and The Oregonian invited Wehby to appear in the debate shortly after she won her Republican primary race in May. After months of back and forth KGW ultimately set a deadline of noon Friday for Wehby to accept or decline the offer.

The noon deadline passed with a Wehby spokesman only saying "we're keeping all options on the table."
