Mayoral Debate at Portland State: The Liveblog

By AARON MESH
It's alive.

It's Rep. Jefferson Smith (D-East Portland) vs. Charlie Hales at Portland State University, in the first televised debate of the general election. You can watch it on KOIN Channel 6, or read our tweets, or both.

Suggested drinking game: Every time one of them hints that the other one is engaged in top-secret negative campaigning, throw your drink at the screen.
