Details on the Gubernatorial Debates
From the Strickland for Governor Newswire, here's the latest on the Gubernatorial debates:
The Ohioans for Blackwell and Strickland for Governor campaigns today officially released more details about the four debates they will conduct between now and the general election.
The four debates are as follows:
Sept 5 @ Noon in Youngstown hosted by Youngstown Vindicator & WFMJ-TV. It will be open topic.
Sept 20 @ Noon in Cleveland hosted by WEWS-TV, Call & Post. The topic will be Education. October 4 @ 7PM hosted by Cincinnati Chamber & Debate USA Alliance. The topic will be the Economy.
October 16 @ 7PM in Columbus. The hosts will be announced later & it will also be an open topic debate.
Each debate will have a moderator and either media or citizen questioners.
All debates will be 60 minutes in length, using a format similar to recent Presidential debates, with three minute opening statements from each candidate, then questions answered via 90-second responses, 60-second rebuttals and 30-second clarifications, if necessary. Each candidate will then have a two-minute closing statement.
Media credentialing will be conducted by the sponsoring organizations. On-site ticketing for each event will be limited, using guidelines negotiated by the two campaigns.
All events will offer live pool feeds for other interested media outlets.
More specifics will be available as details are concluded between each event sponsor and the campaigns.
