KBTX-TV, Bryan-College Station is partnering with KWTX-TV, Waco and KAMU-TV, Texas A&M University to host a live hour-long District 17 candidate forum Saturday, October 7. This is the first meeting of Republican Van Taylor and incumbent Democrat Chet Edwards in this type forum.

KBTX-TV weekend anchor Chace Murphy will moderate the forum. Panelists include KBTX-TV six and ten o'clock anchor Joe Brown, KBTX-TV five o'clock anchor Crystal Galny, and KWTX-TV six and ten o'clock anchor Julie Shelton.

The candidate forum is closed to the public, however, it will air live on KBTX-TV, KWTX-TV, KAMU-TV, KAMU-FM, KBTX.com, and KWTX.com from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, October 7.

The candidates will be asked questions from the panelists and moderator. Candidates will also be afforded the opportunity to ask each other questions.


TOPICS: Extended News; Politics/Elections; US: Texas
KEYWORDS: chetedwards; district17; texas; tx17; vantaylor
You can watch this debate live on the Internet. There is a link to the video on the KBTX website.

If this goes as expected, it will get nasty as soon as the candidates are allowed to question each other.

It's going to be interesting.

I suspect we're going to see Taylor shoot his mouth off sometime during the event.

Uninteresting, so far. I hope it gets better.

Yeah, they're both putting me to sleep.

Someone must have slipped Taylor a sedative. In the Republican primary debates he was vicious and rabid.

I suppose he was warned not to appear to be too aggressive. They're talking about No Child Left Behind. Chet said nothing. Now Van is saying nothing. Good grief.

Yeah, I suspect Taylor's handlers told him to knock of the kook behavior. He has turned off a lot of potential supporters with his behavior.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..........................

Oops.

Should be "knock off" instead of "knock of".

His bringing up of the supposed taxes that Edwards owes seems to be a dud. Taylor just looks bad.

I must have missed that. I was out of the room taking a phone call.

Taylor is just not a good candidate. He won the primary because of his Iraq service. He was clearly the worst choice the Republicans in TX17 could have made.

Oh, and looking @ your tagline, this is for you.
