Daffy Duck

Musgrave campaign intern Kyle Anderson: (Photo courtesy of the Marilyn Musgrave campaign)Three 4th Congressional District debates are being tentatively scheduled for the second, third, and fourth week of October.

But U.S. Rep. Marilyn Musgrave's campaign is crying "fowl" after Democratic nominee Betsy Markey did not accept an invitation to a radio debate on KCOL-AM Saturday morning.

The Musgrave campaign publicized Markey's "ducking" of the debate by sending out intern Kyle Anderson to local radio stations in a duck suit. The campaign also issued a press release Friday titled "Quack, Quack, Quack."

Asked what Markey's position was on ducks, Marter answered, tongue firmly in cheek, that "Betsy Markey draws a line in the sand about ducks."

"She feels there are good ducks like Daffy Duck and bad ducks like Scrooge McDuck," Marter said.
