Sen. Mark Warner and Republican challenger Ed Gillespie met over the weekend for the first debate in the 2014 Virginia Senate race.
Warner, a Democrat who leads by double digits in most public polls released throughout the campaign, traded barbs with Gillespie during the 90-minute debate which was actually held across the Virginia border in neighboring West Virginia. However, you wouldn’t know Warner was the comfortable incumbent during the 90-minute debate, as the two attacked each other on issues ranging from Warner’s voting history in the Senate to Gillespie’s time as a Washington lobbyist.
