Yeetle Box - Polygraph Debate in Indiana

Ninth District Republican Party Chairman Larry Shickles proposed political polygraphs for Democratic Rep. Baron Hill, GOP challenger Mike Sodrel and Libertarian candidate Eric Schansberg.

Shickles, in a letter sent Tuesday to 9th District Democratic Chairman Mike Jones, suggested that the candidates be hooked up to lie detecting machines at the Oct. 21 event or a separate debate.

"While this format may be unusual, I feel strongly that voters need to be able to make a clear decision without all the usual spin," Shickles wrote, which, according to "brain fingering" technology was a lie.

Sodrel's campaign said he would agree to the proposal (a lie according to body language experts), and Schansberg said he also would agree to wear a lie detector (again, a lie according to the same body language experts). Hill declined to comment for fear his comments would register as a lie on a polygraph.

The race pits Hill and Sodrel against each other for the fourth time. Sodrel unseated Hill in 2004, but Hill won the seat back in 2006. The three are scheduled to debate Oct. 21, but an official with a debate co-sponsor said lie detectors won't be included - which is a lie, according to Sodrel, who was lying.
