It's on! Blumenauer Hits Back During WW Endorsement Interview (With Video)

WW's endorsement interview Thursday with the candidates for the Third Congressional District inspired a heated exchange between two of the hopefuls.

The fireworks started when Jeff Lawrence, an Intel exec running on the Libertarian and Independent tickets, got under the skin of the incumbent, Democrat Earl Blumenauer.

Blumenauer is known to have a prickly personality, but when confronted with public criticism, he typically maintains a cool detachment bordering on aloof.

Not so yesterday. Check out Blumenauer's reaction to Lawrence's attack in this video from the interview (which also features Pacific Green Party candidate Michael Meo and Republican hopeful Delia Lopez):
