The four candidates seeking the Democratic nomination for Ohio governor have committed to mixing it up in a series of six regional debates.
The first debate is set for 7 p.m. Sept. 12 at Martins Ferry High School in Belmont County in eastern Ohio, Democratic Party Chairman David Pepper announced Monday morning.
Two more debates are expected to follow this year, with three additional face-offs next year prior to the May primary, Pepper said.
The Democrats currently running for governor are state Sen. Joe Schiavoni, D-Boardman; Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley; former state Rep. Connie Pillich, D-Montgomery; and former U.S. Rep. Betty Sutton, D-Barberton.

And, if Cordrey announces he will run for governor, he will have to resign his current position in the Federal Government as Consumer Affairs czar.
A dilemma.
I, for one, would be interested in seeing and hearing how Cordrey does as a campaigner; how he fares opposite the other Dem candidates.
Cordrey has the bona fides to run as the Dem nominee, but sometimes that isn't enough.
Dems need a strong, appealing person if they hope to get some traction against the Republican challengers.
