Make no mistake: the media and Alabama Democratic gubernatorial nominee Walk Maddox want a debate. They have made it their main campaign plank from day one of the general election campaign.
He insists that Governor Kay Ivey must debate him, and that to do otherwise is cowardly or, more recklessly, a sign that she is unable to run the state.
It’s silly. Polling indicates she is crushing him. It’s that simple.
Recently, Maddox’s campaign speechwriter, Lars Anderson, wrote a check that his candidate refuses to cash.
I can't speak to to @GovernorKayIvey's disappearance, but I do know @WaltMaddox never turns down interview requests. Heck, he's done interviews with grade schoolers for their yearbooks. Walt is out there, in full view, for the public. He's never shied away from a single question. https://t.co/iivUKRQ3mu

Oh, really?
The producer of my radio show has reached out to Walt Maddox multiple times.
See below:
Personally, I think Kay Ivey should debate Walt Maddox, but she has made it clear this isn’t going to happen. The speaker of the Alabama State House has explained why and political scientists have explained why, but if Maddox wants to play this game, he should take on anybody — and his campaign alleges they will.
Clearly, this was an oversight and we look forward to having Walt Maddox on the show.
