143,811This is a 20 minute debate between Mac D’Alessandro and Stephen Lynch. That brings the total debate time to 35 minutes so far in this race. Lots of talk about health insurance reform and Lynch’s controversial vote. Lynch comes off strong again. Mac has been going after Lynch on the health insurance vote all race long, but when he finally gets to debate him, Lynch gets most of the time to talk in detail about his views on health insurance. Lynch speaks for 80% of the time on that question.

The Plymouth County GOP held a straw poll last night that gives us some insight into a number of Plymouth County Republican primaries.
Not a lot of surprises here, but except maybe how lopsided some of the results were. Results after the jump.

Rep. Stephen Lynch
A hilarious story just appeared on GateHouse News:
Rep. Stephen Lynch promised a debate with Mac D’Alessandro, his opponent in the primary election, and debate he shall.
For 15 minutes.
Lynch and D’Alessandro will film a debate Friday for WBZ-TV, with Jon Keller hosting. The 15-minute show will air on Sunday at 8:30 a.m.
Mac D’Alessandro has been asking to debate Lynch all through the campaign. It is a common strategy for secure incumbents to avoid debates against political newcomers. The reasoning is that the incumbent already has the name recognition. Debating just gives the challenger legitimacy. So why do it?

Editor: We received the following message from Mac D’Alessandro
Mac D'Alessandro
Mac D’Alessandro, Democratic candidate for Congress from Massachusetts’ 9th district, issued a call yesterday for Stephen Lynch to join him in a series of four weekly debates leading up to Primary Election Day, on September 14. D’Alessandro urged that the debates be sited throughout the district, to give all residents of the 9th Congressional the opportunity to personally hear from both Democrats vying for their vote.
“There are critical issues at stake in this race, with stark, significant differences between Mr. Lynch and myself,” said D’Alessandro. “Whether it’s how we create jobs and get our economy moving again, how we make health care more accessible and affordable for everyone, or what we should be doing in Afghanistan and Iraq, we owe it to the voters to have a real, substantive conversation on the issues as we approach the primary election.”

Editor: We received this press release from Mac D’Alessandro, who is challenging Rep. Steven Lynch for the 9th Congressional District seat. Is it fair? We’ll have some commentary afterwards.
“I have spent my career fighting for working families and standing up to special interests,” said D’Alessandro. “I would hope that Stephen Lynch knows the difference between the working families of the 9th district and real special interests, like the giant corporations whose PAC checks line Lynch’s campaign account.”
