Gubernatorial Debate Tomorrow

Ehrlich and O'Malley have finally agreed to hold a live debate: tomorrow. The debate will be on WBAL-TV and MPT tomorrow at 7PM; details of the debate are still being worked out. The debate about debates has been going for sometime.

The debate should be interesting to watch if only because the 2002 debate was so disastrous. The almost all-black audience at Morgan State heavily favored Townsend. Townsend appealed to the crowd with her staunch liberal stands but sounded terrible and utterly forgot that her real audience should have the reporters who would interpret the debate for the public. Meanwhile, Ehrlich benefitted but only by comparison. After the debate, many wondered who the nasty guy on stage was and why the Republicans had not brought that nice suburban guy who appeared in all their commercials. Of course, the debate was also the source of the infamous, patently false allegations that Oreos were thrown at Michael Steele, then a candidate for Lite Gov.
