Klobuchar, Bell in “thing” today
Many pressing and important decisions cross an editor's desk during the course of the day -- none more important than this one: is today's thing with/between Amy Klobuchar and Ford Bell on Midday at 11 this morning a debate, a forum, another episode of Meet (some of)the Candidates, a joint appearance? What?
People get all atwitter of word choices. Personally, I think if two candidates are running against each other (check) are in the same place (check) answering the same questions (check) and can respond immediately to the other's statements (check), that's a debate.
Otherwise, we'd have to call it "the-thing-on-the-radio-before-they-both-drive like-hell-to-get-to-
Anoka
Mounds View (or wherever)-for-the-real-debate-with-Mark-Kennedy" event at 12:30.
(Update 1:21p ) -- I didn't get a chance to listen but here's the audio. They're working on the "old" MPR building now that we've all moved into the "new" one. Well, everyone except the on-air studios. I understand if you listen closely you can hear drilling and hammering in the background.
