    Will any of these be televised by any chance?

    I don't think any of them will be televised. PBS at one time thought it had a civic responsibility to inform people, but no longer.

    aren't you forgetting the mayoral debate at the sate for the mayor of the county seat. I realize Panto is a shoe-in against this guy but it will be intersting to see if his opponent throws a tantrum like he used to do at the county's 9-1-1 task force meetings, or when he demoted himself from a Lt. in the fire dept. to a regular firefighter becasue he couldn't handle the stress. He is a mouth, all talk no action. Has not done a thing to make the city better.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
