The joint forums include:
The Valdez campaign issued a press release attacking the Republican party and the Cannaday campaign for the YouTube video. Kirk McPike, campaign manager for Sheriff Valdez, a Democrat, called the video a "desperate and dishonest stunt."

written by dt , August 22, 2008 When was the agreement made? Before or after the video came out? How long did it take her to agree? Who cares what Kirk McPike thinks?

written by MRN , August 22, 2008 One revealing thing about the video, as you will see if you watch it, is the fact that apparently democrats don't believe in free speech if it makes fun of them. Signs comparing the President of the United States to Hitler are apparently ok, but a sign asking Lupe why she won't debate is not. Gangy, you might be interested to know that McPike's press release was the first time the dems would agree in writing to do the debates. At least the video got her to commit publicly. I'm sure McPike will deny that, too, but I trust my source much more than I do him.

written by Holy Roller , August 22, 2008 Those times were made prior to the chicken suit incident. You don't set up times and dates for debates in one day. Use your head. As for free speech, the event was a fundraiser. Not a public forum for debate or protests. They had every right to remove the chicken, just as Bush has removed protestors from his events. The chicken had his 15 minutes of fame.

written by MRN , August 22, 2008 Yes you can, if both parties want to do it and you know who to call. I've seen it done. Before the chicken was aired Lupe would not commit in writing to the debates. Therefore, until then, they were tentative by definition. Use your own head, if you can get it out, and cut out the elitist tone, you racist. When has Bush removed protesters? Tell me, if you can. Maybe the cops did, but there is no evidence it was done at Bush's behest. Besides, the chicken wasn't removed, only technically assaulted, and not by the cops. A sidewalk is a public place and he had every right to be there. Oh, and Gangy, how about Lupe's lie about when the Discovery Channel special would air? Unless, of course, she and her spokesperson are on different pages.

written by Holy Roller , August 22, 2008 What race is the chicken? I am trying to figure out where the racist comment came from LOL.

written by TR , August 22, 2008 Talk about lying. Why don't you the read Lupe's comments about when her jail film wwas going to air. Now we know she was lying and cost the txa payers several thousand dollars

written by michael a. , August 22, 2008 George Bush vetted his audiences during the entire 2004 election cycle. No one but supporters were allowed to those events and any dissent was screened and removed. The supporters were given tickets, no one without a ticket was allowed in. Holly Roller; the new right wing strategy du jour is to accuse people like Obama and Valdez and their supporters of being racist. This is a crack up. I love to see the little Republican minions taking their talking points and using them in a sentence. "You elitist racist" lol. And what's wrong with being an elitist? the elite — a select group of people with outstanding personal abilities, intellect, wealth, specialized training or experience, or other distinctive attributes. Lordy please don't give us any of that! We prefer our leaders dumber than dirt. Somebody you'd wanna have a beer with while they ruin your country cause they got none of that specialized training, intellect, skills or attributes. Can't have that running the greatest nation in the world, no siree.

written by Not Pleased , August 23, 2008 Lupe has a long history of not agreeing to debates or forums unless she is given the questions in advance. This is not new. Maybe she agreed to some sort of forum or debate, but Ill be there were plenty of stipulations on it, and the questions had to be given in advance. Thats not a true representation of what you know about your job if you get to have the entire command staff answer the quesions before the debate....

written by GOP Operative , August 23, 2008 I am a GOP voter for my whole life in Dallas County and I find this ad stupid and juvenile. This is the type of thing I expect from the Dems, not from the Republicans. This is crap Mr. Neerman, and so are you.
...
written by Booner , August 24, 2008 It would save time if Lupe was given the questions in advance and could submit them to staff who could answer them and then write the answers down. Lupe would also need someone to tell her which answer to read if the questioner pulled a fast one and failed to ask the questions in the same sequence. Canaday, on the other hand, should be given the same questions as Lupe, but asked totally different questions, preferably about string theory. This would insure a fair debate, which Lupe could lose with dignity. Write comment
