The League of Women Voters held their candidate forum today. Candidates from other local house seats attended, along with Schree Pettigrew who is running for the 18th district. Campfield, the Republican incumbent and Schree's opponent, was invited and reportedly confirmed with a tentative response that he may come.

He didn't. Again, missing the chance to debate Pettigrew before a live group of voters.

No one can ding Campfield for not showing, he didn't say for sure he was coming. BUT, given the results of the last debate, one would think he would be beating down the doors to debate Schree before a live audience of voters.

So not only has Campfield avoided the first scheduled debate by claiming confusion and trickery, he altogether dismissed the chance to discuss the issues with Pettigrew at the League of Women Voters candidate forum.

If he wasn't interested in the debate, why he would post this on his blog:

Just FYI I am open to a makeup debate with my opponent/opponents almost any time previous to early voting. Just call when you feel froggy. Nuff said.

I guess debating in front of College kids is different than doing the same in front of constituent voters.

sorry for the double post, was editing when bill posted! SORRY BILL!
