GOP foes to debate April 11

Brian Francisco | Washington editor

Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., and his challenger in the Republican primary election, state Treasurer Richard Mourdock, have agreed to debate April 11 in Indianapolis.

The Indiana Debate Commission said Wednesday the GOP rivals will debate in the studios of WFYI, a PBS TV station. Details on the format, moderator and broadcast time will be announced later, according to Max Jones, president of the commission and editor of the Tribune-Star in Terre Haute.

Jones said the non-profit commission will provide a free live TV feed to news media wishing to broadcast the debate.
