There were some tense moments, a whole lot of lively debate, and even a few moments of agreement - very few - as 1st Congressional District GOP candidates Raul Labrador and Vaughn Ward faced off in a live debate tonight. Here's a shot of the coin toss that preceded the debate; Ward, left, won the toss, which meant that Labrador, center, went first. At right is Bruce Reichert of Idaho Public Television.
