Scott Kleeb vs. an Empty Chair

A pretty humorous press release from the Kleeb campaign today:

What: A One-On-None “Debate”

When: Tonight, Wednesday May 7th, 6:00 – 7:00pm

Where: CTI Channel 22/Qwest 69, Omaha

Who: Scott Kleeb vs. An Empty Chair

Why: Mr. Kleeb is honoring his commitment to Douglas County and North Omaha despite his opponent’s cancellation

Tonight, Democrat Scott Kleeb will take the stage for an unusual event. After agreeing to discuss the issues with Mr. Kleeb tonight, Tony Raimondo abruptly backed out of the debate.

The Douglas County Democratic Party sponsored tonight's "debate," which will air live on CTI 22/Qwest 69 at 6pm. During the hour-long, live telecast, Mr. Kleeb will take questions from both moderator Bill King and Omaha residents.

"Scott Kleeb keeps his word. He made a commitment to North Omaha families tonight and he will honor that commitment," said Kleeb's Communications Director, Joe Zepecki. "Tony Raimondo owes the people of Omaha an explanation: where is he?"
