Two U.S. House debates will be going on at the same time on nearly opposite ends of the state today.

Republican Martha Rainville and Democrat Peter Welch will be meeting at 5:30 p.m. for a Brattleboro Reformer-sponsored debate at the Hooker-Dunham Theater. It is supposed to be broadcast on WKVT radio (1490 AM) and web-streamed through the Reformer's and WKVT's Web site.

Meanwhile, Channel 17 in Burlington will be holding a House debate at 5:25 p.m., which can be seen on Burlington area cable. Impeach Bush Now candidate Dennis Morrisseau, whom I just saw on Church Street, will be among those attending that one.
