U.S. Sen. Richard Burr has already agreed to a debate but not exactly the kind suggested in the invitation.
Durham lawyer Kennth Lewis, a Democratic candidate for Burr's seat in next year's election, sent Burr a letter last week asking him to debate health care reform, charging that Burr had failed to defend his positions in public.
Burr, a Republican, agreed to debate but said the other two potential Democratic candidates should be included: Secretary of State Elaine Marshall and former state Sen. Cal Cunningham. He also said he's done plenty of defending his positions in speeches and news media interviews.
Burr wrote that his campaign staff will contact the candidates about scheduling a debate.

Re: Burr says he'll debate... anyone! Just spell his name right.
No, truthsquad and CO. I'm laughing that an incumbent has to accept a challenge to a debate from the first yippee dog on myspace to ask for one this far out.
You girls really don't get how sad that is do you?
It's telling, but mostly about you Cheerleaders.
