Debate a draw; both lose

In a little back and forth between two southside Milwaukee Dems over the voter ID bill, neither State Sen. Tim Carpenter nor State Rep. Pedro Colon exactly covered himself with glory.

Colon complained that Carpenter's vote with Republicans to require photo IDs to vote would prevent many people in his district from voting. Carpenter's response: At least he voted; Colon missed the Assembly vote on the bill. Colon's explanation? He had to catch a plane for a family vacation.

Can't wait for Colon to challenge Carpenter in 06, if the debates would be that amusing.

Story.
