Rand Paul, Jack Conway To Face Off In Fox News Debate Next Month

FRANKFORT, Ky. — Senate candidates Republican Rand Paul and Democrat Jack Conway of Kentucky have committed to a fourth political debate, this one on Fox News in early October.

The candidates had already agreed to three debates to be held in Kentucky, and others remain a possibility.

The campaigns have discussed facing off on NBC's "Meet The Press" but haven't yet committed to that.

The Conway campaign had been pushing for the joint appearance on "Meet The Press," but Paul is balking.

The Fox News debate will be moderated by Chris Wallace. It will air at 9 a.m. EDT on Oct. 3.

Good luck to both.

One thing, though: Does Rand Paul only own one shirt?

The Huffington Post is apparently using only photographs from one political event. Everything I've seen on here is from Fancy Farms, the event that kicks off the political season in Kentucky. That's what you get when your news comes from a blogger using stock photos instead of a real news agency.

I wonder if Fox will allow Conway to have a fully functioning microphone?

More ridicule without reasoned argument or researched facts. Fail.

Is it just a wierd angle on the photo, or does it look like Conway could crush him with one blow?

You know, I think now that it may just be a good idea. Paul will feel comfortable to say all of the wild and crazy things he has been saying in front of the Flea Baggers. He will forget that their will be a much more diverse audiance watching. Good move Conway, let Paul and Fox bring it on.

I'm starting to think there isn't anyone on the Huffington Post who can actually offer a reasoned argument. All you know how to do is mock and insult people? Do you all actually read books, and do research, or do you just sit around thinking up one-liners?

Conway, to debate on FOX? I am not sure that is a good idea. Will he get a fair shake? I doubt it.

If Paul don't agree to go on Meet the Press before the FAUX debate, he shouldn't go.

oh that should be fair.......Conway won't be given a mic..but he is free to say whatever he chooses.
