Kirk, Giannoulias Agree to Senate Debates
CHICAGO (AP) -- Republican Mark Kirk and Democrat Alexi Giannoulias have agreed to participate in two debates and could hold more.

Representatives say the U.S. Senate candidates will face off on October 10 on NBC's ``Meet the Press.'' They've also agreed to participate in the October 19 League of Women Voters' debate on Chicago's WLS-TV.

The campaigns remain in talks about more debates or forums before Election Day on November 2. Early voting starts in mid-October.

Kirk spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski says the congressman definitely wants more debates. And Giannoulias spokeswoman Kathleen Strand says the Illinois treasurer is looking forward to the debates.
