Tonight is the first of three debates featuring the three Indiana gubernatorial candidates. The Indiana Debate Commission says the one hour debate will originate from the Zionsville Performing Arts Center, starting at 6pm CDT. A recent poll of likely voters has republican candidate Mike Pence with a commanding 47-percent lead compared to the Democratic challenger John Gregg's 34-percent, according to the Times online.  Libertarian contestant Rupert Boneham (Bon-hum) with five-percent in the poll will also take part in the debate. The debate can be seen on Lakeshore Public Television, its radio affiliate or streamed online at http://indianadebatecommission.com.  The next governor's debate will be held in South Bend on October 17^th.
