brien, I couldn't agree more. Its a travesty that American citizens allow this to happen, let alone still particpate in sanctioning a corrupt election by voting.

I say:
Good question....
Here is this article:
Quote:
Four debates are scheduled between Ohio’s major-party candidates for governor, including a final one in Columbus, the two campaigns announced yesterday.
It will be the most gubernatorial debates in the state in at least 24 years.
Specific locations were not revealed, but the campaigns said they would establish guidelines for limited on-site ticketing at each event.
Republican J. Kenneth Blackwell and Democrat Ted Strickland will open the series immediately after Labor Day weekend, for years a statewide campaign’s traditional kickoff.
The first matchup is set for noon Sept. 5 in Youngstown, with no specific topic. Sponsors include The (Youngstown) Vindicator and WFMJ-TV (Channel 21).
Education will be the topic of the second matchup, at noon Sept. 20 in Cleveland. This one is sponsored by the Call & Post and WEWS-TV (Channel 5).
The economy will take center stage for the next confrontation at 7 p.m. Oct. 4 in Cincinnati. Sponsors of are the Cincinnati Chamber of Commerce and Debate USA Alliance.
The capital city will host the final debate, scheduled for 7 p.m. Oct. 16. The topic is open; sponsors are to be announced.
On the downside, neither of the third party candidates in the race have been invited to participate in any of the meetings…
The two minor-party candidates — Robert Fitrakis, of the Green Party, and William S. Peirce, of the Libertarian Party — will not be included in any of the debates.
