Debate Access

If two candidates debate in a forest, but no one is there to see them, was there really a debate?

Well, okay, it's a bit different when there's dozens of reporters to watch. But the question remains, from a couple of readers of our online chat earlier today, how "regular folk" can get access to Saturday's debate, which is not going to be televised.

As promised during the Live Online discussion, here's what we know about that.

Organizers of the debate say public radio will be at the debate, but will not be broadcasting live. Instead, radio folks said they may broadcast bits and pieces of it later.

A transcript will be available on the Web site of the Virginia Bar Association, which is sponsoring the debate. But officials there say it's not likely to be available for a couple of days.

Or, you can always drive four hours to beautiful West Virginia.
