I see on Kennedy vs. the Machine that Rep. Mark Kennedy has accepted an invitation to appear at the North Chamber of Commerce meeting at noon on March 3.

“I was happy to accept this debate and I sincerely hope that both Amy and Ford will join me in speaking candidly to voters about the issues,” said Mark Kennedy. ”The voters of Minnesota deserve an open, honest and friendly discussion of the issues. This Senate seat is too important to allow candidates to hide behind poll tested sound bites and press releases.”

The news release is dated for today. One problem: Ford Bell and Amy Klobuchar already had accepted an invitation to debate on MPR's Midday on that same day, starting at 11, in St. Paul, a debate that was publicized and mentioned in at least one of the candidate's news releases.

Kennedy has been invited to appear on the same program on March 2 and/or March 8.

We at the Bell campaign accepted the invitation to participate in the Metro North Chamber of Commerce's debate last week when Tom Snell of the chamber contacted the office. We, also, asked the chamber if they could hold the debate at 12:30 p.m., so, Mr. Bell could be on MPR's Midday show and participate in the Metro North Chamber of Commerce debate. Once and for all, Mr. Bell will debate anyone, anytime, anywhere. Let's start the debates.
