Debate over debates begins in Ricketts-Krist race for governor

LINCOLN — Gov. Pete Ricketts and State Sen. Bob Krist have launched into a debate over debates in their race for governor.

Ricketts, the incumbent Republican, announced last week that he would participate in three joint appearances with his opponent.

But Krist, his Democratic challenger, fired back Thursday with a call for five debates between the two candidates, with statewide media coverage.

Only one debate, sponsored by The World-Herald and KMTV, appeared on both lists. The hourlong debate Aug. 30 at the Nebraska State Fair will be streamed live on Omaha.com and 3newsnow.com.

better. The liability that ALL GOP candidates have is huge as you can always circle back to trump and have the gOP either agree with trump or not.
