Kukowski and Orton also debated campaign ads by each party for the fall elections.
Kukowski said Democrats were "grasping at straws" in their criticism of a Republican campaign ad for Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker that was based on reality show "Say Yes to the Dress," while Orton claimed the ad showed the GOP was "stuck in 1962 reality."
