The big radio debate between California gubernatorial candidatees — Democrat Jerry Brown and Republican Meg Whitman — which had been scheduled Tuesday at 10 a.m. on the Ronn Owens’ show has been cancelled, the station says.<\/p>\n

No word yet of any additional joint appearances, but if this is it, then this is it. Back in 2006, we had only one debate, so I’m sure we’ll something about a step forward for democracy for the Whitman camp. Although, with Brown seemingly opening up a lead in the polls, perhaps a change in position might be brewing on debates?<\/p>\n
