Timm Herdt of the Ventura County Star likes beating a dead horse with another piece today about Hannah-Beth Jackson dodging a voters’ forum sponsored by the Santa Barbara County Taxpayers Association and Katie Teague bitching that Tony Strickland won’t consent to being trashed by the California Association of Political Centrists.

But, there is THANKFULLY more:

The candidates appeared together for the first time Sunday morning at the regular “bagel brunch” held by the men’s group at Temple Adat Elohim in Thousand Oaks.

Group President John Saulino said the event, moderated by Rabbi Ted Riter, was attended by about 125 people. He described the two-hour forum as cordial and informational.

Strickland and Jackson have agreed to joint appearances on Oct. 3 at an event sponsored by the Ventura Chamber of Commerce and an Oct. 10 forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Ventura County.

Zoe Taylor, president and CEO of the Ventura Chamber, said a location has not yet been selected for the evening forum, which will feature only the Senate candidates and be moderated by Star Editor and Vice President Joe Howry.

She said the event will be “more of a town hall than a forum” and will feature questions from the public, although the process for screening and selecting those questions has not yet been developed.

The chamber event will be taped by community access television and will be made available for showing to cable TV franchises throughout the county.

Like Flap said yesterday, there would be numerous opportunities for Ventura County voters to see and meet the candidates in a neutral forum which would be fair to both candidates.

The rest is just HOT AIR.
