CA-Sen: Boxer Vs. Fiorina Debate Details
Republican Nominee Carly Fiorina and California Democrat Senator Barbara Boxer
Saint Mary’s College of California will host the first U.S. Senatorial debate between incumbent Democrat Barbara Boxer and Republican challenger Carly Fiorina on Wednesday, September 1, 2010 at 7 p.m. The one-hour debate will be held before a live audience in the College’s LeFevre Theatre and will be the first time both candidates will face off in an open forum.
Audience seats for the senate debate are by invitation only and are not available to the public. The reason for the invitation only format is that the venue for the debate is a small theater with only 300 seats. As such, tickets were allocated through the sponsoring media partners of KTVU, KQED and the San Francisco Chronicle. A portion of the seats in the audience have been reserved for current students at Saint Mary’s College.
The public is encouraged to watch or listen to the September 1 debate — from 7-8 p.m. — on KTVU Fox 2 Television or on KQED Public Radio (88.5 FM in San Francisco and 89.3 FM in Sacramento). It will also be streamed live on the internet on KTVU.com with links to SFGATE.com and KQED.org. The hour-long event is also being offered live to all California public radio stations in addition to individual television stations in each of the state’s 10 TV markets.
Sponsored by KTVU Channel 2 News, the San Francisco Chronicle and KQED Public Radio, the senate debate will be moderated by KTVU Political Editor Randy Shandobil and will include three veteran political journalists, including San Francisco Chronicle Political Reporter Carla Marinucci, La Opinion Senior Political Reporter Pilar Marrero and KQED Public Radio Host Scott Shafer.
I’ll try to remember to tweet up either the television and/or the audio links prior to the debate commencing.
I don’t think too many folks (besides the obvious partisans) are going to tune into this political donnybrook. But, there may be some interesting barbs thrown back and forth.
For a humorous look at the debate from a couple of white/gray haired (like me!) lefty LAMESTREAM media types, go here.

I think it is unfair to use 2 very different pictures for the 2 candidates. You have a nice picture of Carly smiling and looking wonderful in front of a green leafy background. None of that is present in the picture of Barbara. Try to be more fair.

Unfair?
A photo of Boxer isn’t it?

IF THIS UNQUESTIONABLY INEQUITABLE PHOTO REPRESENTATION OF CANDIDATES IS YOUR IDEA OF FAIR AND EQUAL TREATMENT … WE ARE THEN GIVEN AN EXTREMELY CLEAR IDEA OF THE PARTISAN IMBALANCE THAT WE – AND DEMOCRACY – WILL ENCUR IF THE TECHNOCRAT, FIORINA, WINS THE ELECTION –

P.S. THEN AGAIN, PERHAPS ITS JUST AN AD FOR DENTAL WORK – FOR THOSE WHO CAN AFFORD IT

There is little doubt that Carly Fiorina has the better smile.

What???? And you lefty pukes NEVER use un-flattering pictures of conservative candidates !!!! It is not in the liberal playbook to be anything close to being fair.

I agree that whoever on your staff that chose the pictures definitely (either consciously or unconsciously) chose a much more flattering picture of Ms. Fiorina. Watch out; you are letting your political persuasions show!!! (Or, in other words, your unmentionables are flapping in the wind!!!!)
