The somewhat highly anticipated radio debate between Meg Whitman and Jerry Brown, the two candidates for Governor of California, has been called off.  San Franciscan radio host, Ronn Owens, had promised listeners the debate of a lifetime, and although both campaigns discussed the possibility of such a debate, neither side formally agreed.  Sterling Clifford, a spokesman for the Brown campaign stated that although there was an “initial interest,” especially following the second and rather heated debate between the gubernatorial candidates, there was no follow through.  Thus, the debate could not be organized.  Those looking for another debate, however, should not fret.  The third and final debate between Brown and Whitman will take place in San Rafael on October 12, 2010.
