As a result of the debate Friday night - - and follow-up reporting Saturday - - there will be voters who will learn for the first time that there is a criminal investigation into the operation of Scott Walker's 2010 county staff and campaign, that Walker has set up a legal defense fund in response and that he was not very forthcoming about it when pressed by opponent Tom Barrett for details.
Not everyone follows the news as deeply as do the partisans and activists, and some citizen/voters tonight will see their Governor in the shadows.
It says a lot about the state of our democracy that people don't know basic facts (Walker has a legal defense fund for example) that many of us simply take for granted.
