A radio debate between gubernatorial candidates Jerry Brown and Meg Whitman, which was scheduled for Tuesday at 10 a.m. on the Ronn Owens' show, has been cancelled. La Marinucci reports that the two candidates decided to squash the "discussion" by "mutual agreement,'' and not because of the Whitman campaign's spectacular implosion. (Because time spent debating issues is time not spent wasting money and abusing eBay employees and illegally-hired maids. And time spent... um, yeah, we don't have anything bad to say about Brown just now. Whitman seems increasingly atrocious by comparison. Alas.) [Chron]
