It looks like the debate schedule for the 10th District has finally been ironed out with an unfortunate outcome for the Chris Hackett campaign.
You'll remember that Hackett challenged Chris Carney to eight debates, but the Times Leader announced this afternoon that Carney and Hackett will face off in only one debate.
The one-hour debate will occur one week before the general election and be simulcast on WVIA-TV and Pennsylvania Cable News Network.
Hackett campaign manger Mark Harris responded by saying, "Chris Carney obviously thinks he’s a Washington big shot now. First he abandoned his promise to represent Pennsylvania values by voting with Nancy Pelosi and the liberals 90 percent of the time. Now he refuses to even show enough respect for voters to defend his record in open and honest debates. Carney is a sorry excuse for a congressman, trying to win an election behind negative attacks instead of debates."
Chris Hackett might spend more time speaking at the Republican National Convention than he will in his debate with Chris Carney.

How can Chris Hackett make such statements when Carney is on active duty? Carney is wearing the uniform, Hackett is just doing more negative campaigning. This is embarrassing to the Hackett campaign.
What a comment from Tony - you think he has the liberal carney's talking points??? Why would Carney make this announcement a day after he goes on duty - what's changed from Monday or Tuesday other than he's not available to comment and accuse hackett of attacking a guy serving his country - weak at best.
Hackett has been calling for debates for months - what a slimy political move by Carney - why do you think he doesn't want to talk issues???
What is Hackett trying to acheive here? What kind of man insults a congressman that is doing his job in congress, while also serving activiley in the military as I write this. I will be surprised if Mark Harris keeps his job.
