The first -- and so far only -- televised debate to be scheduled in Washington's U.S. Senate race takes place in Spokane next week.

Live, from the South Hill, it's Thursday night.(That is to say, it will be at KSPS-TV Channel 7's studio, and it will air live, starting at 7 p.m.)

Sponsors of the debate, KSPS and KXLY-TV, are soliciting questions from the public to throw into the mix of things the candidates will be asked. Some of the details of the format aren't set yet, so it's unclear how many questions will come from the public and how many from a panel of journalists.

But if you have a question you're dying to ask one or both of them, you can send it in by clicking here.

Another televised debate has tentatively been planned for Seattle on KOMO-TV, but the details of that remain uncertain.
