Chicken a la King pull out of debate over format
http://ames.patch.com/articles/king-refuses-debate-in-amescut
Iowa Congressman Steve King called off a Sept. 22 debate against Christie Vilsack in Ames, his competitor for Iowa's new 4th District, because sponsors wouldn't agree to the debate style of his choosing.
King wanted a conversational debate, and sponsors including the Ames Tribune and Iowa State University wanted questions to be posed by panelists.
end cut
He must have thought they said debate Vilasck the floor mat and not debate with Vilsack format.
