Senate debate: Candidates in, cleaver out
Sen. Patty Murray and Republican challenger Dino Rossi have arrived for the first televised debate in Washington's state Senate race.
That means the partisans who arrived to cheer one or jeer the other have dispersed, but not before a person taking issue with their demonstration was detained by police for brandishing a cleaver at the Murray demonstrators.
The man had driven past several times, flashing half of the old "Peace" sign and eventually waving a cleaver out his car window. From inside the studio, it's not immediately clear if he was just detained, cited or taken to that buildilng behind the courthouse for a discussion about the right and wrong time to flash cutlery.
Say what you will, I'll bet there won't be any cleavers brandished at the debate in Seattle on Sunday.
Debate starts live at 7 p.m.
