End of August comment from Loose Lips

Paul Strauss: Jump on the one-on-one debate bandwagon. The Ward 3 council candidate wasn’t even mentioned by the Washington Post editorial that endorsed his rival Mary Cheh for the seat. So Strauss took a page out of the Cropp playbook. Immediately following the endorsement, he sent out an e-mail proposing individual debates with four candidates who did make the Post A-list: Cheh, Bill Rice, Robert Gordon, and Erik Gaull. To be fair, Gaull has also proposed a one-on-one debate with Cheh.
