Somehow, I don't think this is going to be the Lincoln-Douglass debate.
Rep. Michele Bachmann, the darling of the Tea Party right, will square off in a debate tonight with Florida liberal stalwart Rep. Alan Grayson over health care.
The two will be guests on Larry King Live, which airs tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern (8 Central) on CNN. Both Bachmann and Grayson's offices confirmed their appearances to me this morning. It's an interesting pairing, given that though the two agree on very little from a policy standpoint, they've often been linked in the media for their similar rising-star status in their respective parties.
That's about where the similarities end, I'm afraid. This will be as if Lincoln had to debate Britney Spears. I can't wait.
