Richert: Risch Should Debate On IPT, Too

Republican Senate candidate Jim Risch has agreed to a second debate in October — but that may be the end of the road. Earlier this week, Risch said he would take part in an Oct. 8 debate in Lewiston. He is also committing to a Oct. 21 event sponsored by a media group headed by KTVB. "Those are the debates that we are doing," Risch told KFXD radio this morning. This suggests Risch has no interest in taking part in the 10-city October road show orchestrated by Democrat Larry LaRocco and independent Rex Rammell. No surprise there; Risch has pooh-poohed these debates from the outset/Kevin Richert, Idaho Statesman. More here.

Question: Should Risch also schedule a third debate against LaRocco and Rammell, on Idaho Public TV, which would be broadcast live statewide?
