Fourth governor's debate becomes game of chicken
Our Statehouse intern, Annie Hall, filed this report on the possibility of another live gubernatorial debate in Columbus:
The fourth televised debate between gubernatorial candidates is on, maybe.
Saturday, Carlo LoParo, Republican candidate Ken Blackwell’s spokesman, said the debate will be held at the studio of WBNS-TV in Columbus on Monday Oct. 16 and the sponsors are The Dispatch Company and Nationwide Insurance.
Keith Dailey, Strickland’s spokesman, would neither confirm or deny the plans. Dailey said that all information about the debate is to be announced jointly.
Watchers of the gubernatorial campaigns had grown accustomed to the fact that there was not going to be a fourth debate in Columbus, after debates in Youngstown, Cleveland and Cincinnati.
Up until Saturday, no sponsors, moderators or the location had been agreed upon.

Post a Comment*Ted Strickland and Ken Blackwell are both too chicken and too corrupt to debate Libertarian Dr. Bill Peirce and Green candidate Bob Fitrakis.
Shame on them!
These are nothing more than charades where the corporate candidates choose the questions, the audience, and the script.
The problem is people don't watch the debates. If they did, the poll numbers would be much different. One candidate, Blackwell has plans with details. The other candidate, who can barely remember the name of his own plan, has no clue. People need not to vote blindly. Ohio's future is on the line.
"People need not to vote blindly" - making it all that much more unacceptable to exclude viable candidates such as Bill Peirce or Bob Fitrakis.
