Wash. Gubernatorial Race: The Debate Over Debates Continues

The debate over debates continues in the Washington governor’s race. Republican Rob McKenna announced Monday that he will commit to 15 joint appearances with Democrat Jay Inslee. Meanwhile, Inslee made it official: he will not participate in one debate that’s become a tradition in Washington.

Back in December, Inslee proposed six debates: two in each region of the state: western, central and eastern Washington. Now, McKenna is out with his own proposal: 15 debates beginning in June at the Seattle Rotary.
