Up North Progressive

The candidates can’t quite agree what to call it – Mark Schauer is calling it a debate, while the Nerd is calling it something nerdy – a joint appearance. Word on whether any joints will actually be on stage is not known at this time.

October 12 at Wayne State University will be the date and location for the televised debate between the two gubernatorial candidates. It will begin at 6 pm and last for one hour. Detroit Free Press, Detroit News and Detroit Public Television all took part in negotiations.

The debate will be broadcast via satellite and Internet feeds and made available throughout the state. Nolan Finley and Stephen Henderson will moderate.
