The two major party candidates for Ohio's open U.S. Senate seat have agreed to three debates beginning in early October.

Republican Rob Portman and Democrat Lee Fisher will meet in Cleveland for their first debate on Oct. 8.

Dates for the other two debates in Toledo and Cleveland haven't been finalized.

Fisher and Portman are vying to replace Ohio's retiring Sen. George Voinovich.

The campaigns and a consortium of daily newspapers in the state's eight largest media markets announced plans for the debates Wednesday.

Only the debate in Cleveland will have a live audience. All three will be televised.
