Debates...
A couple of updates on political debates.
Representatives from the various - and numerous - US Senate campaigns met in Hartford Friday to try and iron out a debate schedule. I'm told that no concession was reached, but all sides agreed to meet again this week to continue the effort.
US Rep. Rob Simmons, the Republican three-term incumbent, and his Democratic challenger Joe Courtney will square off in the first debate of that race on Monday, Sept. 18 at the Garde Arts Center in New London. Doors open at 7 p.m. - no admittance after 7:30 p.m. Tickets are required and can obtained from The Day of New London offices, co-sponsor of the deabe along with the League of Women Voters Southeastern Connecticut Chapter and WTNH-TV.
The last time Simmons and Courtney went up against each other - the 2002 campaign - they met 10 times over the course of the campaign to debate. Don't expect to see that again this year.
