MJ, do you know if the debate for CD-4 will be available by video for those who can't make it?
I suspect that it will be videotaped…by a certain citizen journalist, if no one else. I think that there should also be mainstream media in attendance,plus journalists from Otero Junior College.
However, I haven't been impressed with the media savvy and outreach of the organizers of these events so far. It's pretty disorganized, maybe because so many organizations (Action 22, Pueblo Chieftain, LWV, Otero College, etc) are involved.
Ken Buck has nothing about the debates on his Facebook or campaign web page, and his people have not responded to my inquiry about the debate. Vic Meyers has confirmed.
