august948 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Don't count on it. We're only 2 months from the election and they've been sparring about numbers and formats for debates for months now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Dogs Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Darn shame though. The last time we've had a gubernatorial debate in Houston was in 2002 between Governor Rick Perry (Rep) and Laredo multimillionaire oilman Tony Sanchez (D), which was broadcast on KHOU-TV.

august948 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 I haven't researched it, but is there something in the voting patterns for the Houston area that makes the candidates think one or the other has a lock on our vote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
