I'm heading down to the first statewide, Democratic gubernatorial debate of the 2009 campaign today in Williamsburg. The debate kicks off at 2 p.m. and is being held at the Sadler Center on the campus of the College of William & Mary. Andrea Mitchell of NBC News will moderate. The debate is being sponsored by the "Farm Team," which describes itself as follows:Established in September 2008, The Farm Team grew from the resolve of a small group of women who gathered at the Patrick County farm of the first and only woman elected statewide in Virginia - Mary Sue Terry. The purpose of this initial gathering was to discuss reinvigorating Democratic women into the electorate statewide. Today The Farm Team is a grassroots and political action network in Virginia, with a single mission: recruit, develop and elect women to office.I'm not particularly looking forward to the driving there and back, but I am looking forward to the debate itself. My plan is to live blog it, but we'll see how it goes. Anyway, should be interesting...
UPDATE: Live streaming will be available here.
