Debate Season!

Debate announcements, apparently, are coming fast and furious.

Of course, last week Save Fitchburg and "Politically Speaking" announced two debates, one for the state representative Democratic primary, and one for the general election. Remember, we want your questions for the 90-minute extravaganza. You can e-mail them here or here, and we'll put them on the list.

The Telegram's Matthew Bruun writes it up today. He notes it's a unique pairing of non-mainstream media hosting this debate. Hopefully he'll cover the debate, also.

It looks like, at least right now, it's first of two for the primary. The Sentinel announces its forum with Fitchburg State College today. While the Sentinel doesn't do us the courtesy of mentioning our debate in its story, we'll extend it to them. We're nice guys. It's Sept. 14, a week after the big SF/PS bash, so we hope it will be just a rehash of the thorough vetting the candidates will get earlier.

We find zero coincidence that the Sentinel announced their gig days after we did ours. We were a little sour when we heard from Matt but not the Sentinel, because deep down inside we're media whores. At first, we didn't think they really cared. Today's announcement would lead you to think they do. Thanks for watching and reading, guys.
