Walker, Barrett to meet for first debate-live statewide at 8 p.m. Friday

Gov. Scott Walker and Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett are scheduled to meet for the first of two live debates in advance of the June 5 recall election.

Friday's debate in Milwaukee is being broadcast live statewide at 8 p.m. Friday and sponsored by the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association.

Walker and Barrett will meet for a second and final debate Thursday night, also in Milwaukee.

Both candidates are familiar with one another, having run against each other in 2010. Walker's time as Milwaukee County executive also overlapped with Barrett's time as mayor from 2004 until 2010.http://www.channel3000.com/news/Walker-Barrett-to-meet-for-first-debate/-/1648/14163448/-/9hqgmb/-/index.html

And I hope he does well.

Listening to Walker is too challenging for my diagnosis, I'm going to bed with the sun tonite.

And it will be televised on TMJ4 and Milwaukee Public Television for those who wish to view in the Milwaukee area.

While I would advise against it, if you choose to partake in a drinking game that every time Wanker says "tools" you drink, please have a designated driver or a cab lined up.

"Who is Dr. James Kroll?...who is Michael J. Steinle? and John N. Gallo?? What is your legal defense fund for?? etc. Then after each question pause (a significant/dead pause) for Walker to answer.

Barret should def mention their names in particular. This would help to disarm Walker.
