Portman Concedes, Agrees to Debate Fisher

Finally, Rob Portman has agreed to get in the ring. In a release issued by both campaigns this morning, the two U.S. Senate hopefuls are now set for three one-hour debates in conjunction with the Ohio Newspaper Association.

The debates will take place in Cleveland, Columbus, and Toldeo. The Cleveland debate will be at the historic City Club on October 8th. Ticket information available soon.

Maybe it's just me, but one-hour doesn't seem like a long enough time for Portman to explain his trade agenda, but then again, George W. Bush never questioned it. How complex can it be? (See jobs, ship jobs.)
