Third 3rd District debate the most lively yet

The candidates running to replace Jim Ramstad met for their third debate last night. The Jewish Community Relations Council, which organized the forum, gave them the option to request one minute rebuttals, and the candidates made use of them often.

DFLer Ashwin Madia, Independence Party candidate David Dillon and Republican Erik Paulsen engaged in feisty exchanges on topics including Iran, Medicare, global warming and taxes.

If you're pressed for time, you can read or listen to a four-minute summary of the debate.
