At 9 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 11, four Seattle television stations will air a live one-hour debate between Washington’s gubernatorial candidates–Democrat Jay Inslee and Republican Rob McKenna.
Northwest Cable News will also broadcast the debate.
Here’s a press release provided by KING5:
SEATTLE— Gubernatorial candidates Jay Inslee (D) and Rob McKenna (R) have agreed to a one hour live debate to be aired on five stations at the same time. The debate will be October 11 from 9:00- 10:00 PM. The unprecedented partnership between KING, KIRO, KOMO, KCPQ and NWCN provides the widest possible audience for the candidates to speak directly to voters.
The broadcast will also be made available to all television and radio stations in the state.
The debate will be held at the KOMO studios in Seattle and will be moderated by Glenn Johnson, professor of communications at Washington State University. The candidates will be questioned by a panel of anchors and reporters including Jean Enersen from KING 5, Dan Lewis from KOMO TV, Angela Russell from KIRO, and C.R. Douglas from KCPQ.
“This is a rare moment for competitors to set aside rivalries and work together as colleagues,”said Mark Ginther, Executive News Director at KING and NWCN. “It reflects the seriousness of our election season and the weight of the decision voters will be asked to make in November.”
Inslee and McKenna agreed in August to a debate co-sponsored by KING 5 and the Seattle Times and carried on KIRO Radio. That debate is set for October 16, three weeks before Election Day. It will be held in the KING 5 studios and televised live from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. immediately following the second Presidential debate. It will also be carried live on king5.com, NWCN and KIRO radio.

“In February, disgraced former governor Eliot Spitzer — or as we like to call him, Client #9 — held a fund-raising event for gubernatorial candidate Jay Inslee.
Yesterday(9/15), disgraced former President Bill Clinton held another fund raiser for Inslee. (The article does not mention whether Clinton, who waged a years-long, personal war on women, mentioned that issue, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he did.)
I begin to see a pattern, and suspect that disgraced former senator John Edwards will be next in this sequence. And why not? Edwards isn’t very busy these days, and I am pretty sure he could draw a crowd…….

This comment establishes an all time low for a cheap shot. It is totally off topic and irrelevant to the article, which pertains to an unprecedented cooperative effort by Seattle media to provide the largest possible audience for a debate between the candidates for governor.
It is vicious, mean spirited and vile. I would say “SHAME!” but it’s obvious that some people have none…
Sorry BB but there is a question that should be asked at these debates; is Inslee ignorant of the behavior of those he chooses to associate with or is he permissive of it, IMHO!
“…Democratic gubernatorial contender Jay Inslee mingled at a mid-day fundraiser at the Sheraton, an event headlined by California Lt. Gov. and former San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom, a politician whose reputation as a womanizer blossomed into a full-blown scandal in 2007 when Newsom’s extramarital affair with the wife of his campaign manager made shocking headlines.
For many observers, Inslee’s use of Newsom as donor-bait is the latest in a string of links between the former congressman and a rogue’s gallery of adulterous Democrats.
Last month, the Manhattan fundraiser for Inslee hosted by former New York governor Eliot Spitzer (D)—the infamous “Client 9” in the records of a high-class escort service for which Spitzer was a frequent customer—raised eyebrows among Republicans and Democrats alike.
Inslee also took heat last year for a $1,000 donation he took former New York congressman Anthony Weiner (D) in 2000,…

Go ahead and play your silly game of Guilt By Association, the fact is YOUR TYPICAL VENOMOUS RIGHT WING GAME OF ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK only serves to underscore what a filthy game you play, and how desperate you are to cut/paste anything that will change the subject from the TV debate to…well, whatever you think might stick. If you think such loaded questions would be appropriate, you should by all means contact the sponsoring organizations, but in the meantime don’t pollute this blog with your sickening blend of spin, spin, spin, spin…
BB haven’t you heard about the infamous war on woman?
Don’t ya think if you are gonna associate yourself with those on the front line of that war, the ones who have been in the trenches doing the dirty work that at least you should explain why you have that association, don’t ya know?
AFY!!theheelotsheepdog!!!
afy of course I’m familiar with the infamous War on Women and clearly so are the women surveyed by the new YWCA Poll released today who prefer Obama by 49 to 31!
So you just go ahead with your silly little games, kid, complete with your asinine personal attacks on me, then by all means let’s get back in touch in early November! LOL!!!
Let’s do get together,sounds like it would be a jolly good time, don’t ya know!
And if you don’t want to talk about Inslee’s womanizer friends, hows bouts this;
“As of today, the voters of the 1st Congressional District no longer have a congressman. For the rest of the year they will be represented by an empty chair.
The question is whether they’ll notice the difference.
That might sound a little cruel, but the funny thing is that Congressman Jay Inslee himself is arguing that they won’t…
….Joel Connelly of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, seldom one with a negative word for Democrats, has written that Inslee is “pulling a Palin.” Danny Westneat, columnist for the Seattle Times, who proudly describes himself as a liberal, is calling Inslee a quitter….
