The strange post-debate incident yesterday that resulted in the filing of criminal charges against Lunsford and an aide by a National Republican Senatorial Committee staffer over the removal of a digital recorder from a stage in Gilbertsville was hardly referenced today.
It was only Lundergan who mentioned the incident, taking the Lunsford camp's position that the recorder was placed on the Democratic candidate's podium in violation of debate rules.
"The Republicans keep saying ‘talk about the issues,'" said Lundergan, then zeroing in on McConnell. "He wanted to bug Bruce Lunsford's podium. That's not what I call talking about the issues."

A Marshall grand jury will decide if criminal charges are warranted against anyone in Bruce Lunsford's senatorial campaign for allegedly tampering with a tape recorder used by a campaign aide to Sen. Mitch McConnell.
Marshall County Sheriff Kevin Byars is expected to complete his investigation on Monday of a complaint filed Thursday after Lunsford and McConnell participated in a debate at Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park. The Four Rivers Business Journal, a publication of The Paducah Sun, sponsored the debate.
The complaint alleges theft and destruction of property.
Richard St. Onge III, a staffer with the National Republican Senatorial Committee who is assisting the McConnell re-election campaign, had placed his tape recorder on Lunsford's podium before the debate and without Lunsford's knowledge.
Lunsford said he discovered the recorder midway through the debate. After it was over, he picked up the recorder and gave it to a member of his staff who admitted erasing the contents.
