The first post-Farmfest meeting between Congressman Tim Walz and Republican challenger Allen Quist was something of a 90-minute brawl. Typical news coverage and headline? Josh Moniz's Walz, Quist clash in first debate in the New Ulm Journal.
They'll be on "At issue" tomorrow morning on KSTP 5 at 10:00 a.m, then again at 5:00 p.m. on KSTC 45.
After the first debate, MPR looked at both men's claims in PoliGraph: 1st District debate examined which concluded:
On some points, both Walz and Quist's claims are supported by the facts.
But on two claims about the cost of the new health care law, both candidates leave out important context that make their statements somewhat misleading.
Via KEYC-TV, here are the greatest hits of the first debate:
