Graves challenges Bachmann to debate

Jim Graves asked Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) to debate him. Graves is the DFLer challenging Bachmann this year. In a press release, the campaign announced that they formally invited Bachmann asking her "to agree on a public debate schedule."

They sent a certified letter so that Bachmann can't play games and claim they didn't receive it.

"We simply want our campaigns to agree on the number of public debates and then begin to iron out the actual dates," said Graves' spokesperson Donald McFarland. The voters of the Sixth Congressional District deserve to hear both candidates speak about their plans to bring jobs to the district, as that is by far the most pressing issue."

What are the chances that Bachmann would agree?

She did well enough in the friendly debate confines of the 2012 Batman Villain Reunion Tour, but what about in less friendly arenas?

Like when her opponent doesn't think kicking children off of health insurance provided by Obamacare is a good ideas. Like when her opponent doesn't think the EPA and IRS should be eliminated. Like when her opponent might point out how often she lies and pushes insane conspiracy theories.
