For those political wonks who are eagerly following the 2010 General Election runup, we'd like to announce a couple of events which you might want to put on today's calender:
1) In case you missed it in one of our lower comments sections, Gentle Reader Eleanor informs us that Democratic Party Gubernatorial Candidate Peter Corroon will be on the Weber State campus this evening, where WSU’s College Democrats are hosting a meet the candidate open house:
CORROON v HERBERT:And the Salt Lake Tribune's political blog, Political Cornflakes, announces this evening's television event:
IT ain't over 'til the Fat Lady sings.
So come on out, tomorrow night, to the:
PETER CORROON TOWN HALL public meeting
DATE: MON 9.20.2010
TIME: 6PM- 7:30PM
PLACE: WSU/ STUDENT UNION BUILDING/ WILDCAT THEATER
Since the WILDCAT THEATER only has 220 seats, come early. Bring a friend. Prepare your questions in advance.
Again, this is a PUBLIC meeting. You do not have to live in Weber County to attend.
Senate race: The latest Dan Jones Poll for the D News and KSL shows Republican Mike Lee with a massive lead over Democrat Sam Granato. So far Granato's claim that Lee is too extreme is not sticking.(As to the latter debate event, please note that we've added the prerecorded video tape to our right sidebar election module.)
The D News/KSL poll also asked who voters would have picked if Sen. Bob Bennett ran as an independent and Lee came out ahead of Bennett 37 to 32.
If you want to check out the KUED [Granato/Lee] debate, it airs tonight at 8 p.m. MST. Or you can just check it out online.
That's it for now, as we move to within 43 days of the 11/2/10 Election.
Chime in on either of the above topics, or consider this an open topic thread.
Update 9/21/10 10:00 a.m.: The Standard-Examiner carries a post event writeup this morning on the Corroon meet the candidate event:
• Corroon fields questions / Gubernatorial candidate addresses issues involving federal government
