2:40 PM: Gableman denounces ad, Butler asks groups to "stand down"
Burnett County Judge Michael Gableman, left, and state Supreme Court Justice Louis Butler, right, before their debate at the Madison Concourse Hotel.
Justice Louis Butler, who Gableman is running against in the April 1 election, asked third party groups like the Greater Wisconsin Committee to "stand down."
"Let us run our own campaigns," Butler said. The candidates appeared today at a debate sponsored by the Dane County Bar Association at the Madison Concourse Hotel.

It was the first face-to-face meeting for the two candidates during this campaign. They had previously debated through a on-line radio show hosted by a University of Milwaukee student, and Gableman canceled on another scheduled event because cold weather grounded his flight.
