Dunbar Challenges Taylor to Debates, Of Course

Hidden among The Morning Buzz on PoliticsPA today is a nugget about House District 177. Specifically, Democrat William Dunbar challenging incumbent John Taylor to three debates before Halloween arrives.

Not really a big surprise. Mr. Dunbar is a huge underdog while Mr. Taylor has been in office since Ronald Reagan humiliated Fritz Mondale on the national stage. Huge underdogs challenging established front runners to debates is one of the oldest tactics in the book, but it's not likely to have an impact come November.
