Incumbents could learn a lot from Dent

Congressman Charlie Dent is doing something most incumbents would never do and deserves to be applauded.  Dent has agreed to two televised debates and as many as five face-to-face appearances with his democratic challenger Sam Bennett.  While Dent did turn down other debate opportunities, the fact that he is giving Bennett five face-o-face opportunities with two televised debates is a lesson some other incumbents (See Chris Carney) could learn from.  Voters deserve plenty of opportunity from all sides to see their candidates debate.
