Publicola's ECB reports that, wrapping up a 20-minute KUOW interview, King County Executive candidate Susan Hutchison offered what sounded like a challenge to her rival Dow Constantine: three debates, come and get it. (Constantine was making hay with Hutchison's infrequent public appearances during the primary.) But Dow told Publicola that debate arrangements are already in progress, and talks are ongoing with two TV stations about the logistics. ECB quotes Dow's comeback as: "Is she going to challenge me to a primary election next?"

Publicola's ECB has a tea-leaf reading of yesterday's ballot drop that augurs well for Dow Constantine in the King County Executive's race. While Susan Hutchison (TV) is up on Dow (D) by almost 13 percent, the later ballots are trending Constantine's way.
