Alex Trebek to moderate PA governor's debate

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf is agreeing to participate in just one debate before the Nov. 6 election with his Republican rival Scott Wagner, an event to be moderated by "Jeopardy!" host Alex Trebek.

Wolf's campaign said this week that will be his only debate, and gave no explanation as to why. That prompted Wagner's campaign to accuse Wolf of being "afraid to defend himself in front of Pennsylvanians."

The 45-minute debate to be moderated by Trebek is Oct. 1 at the annual Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry dinner in Hershey.

A chamber spokeswoman, Tricia Harris, said she could not give details Thursday about the event format. The chamber has received inquiries from TV stations wanting to provide coverage of the debate and it is working to make that available, Harris said. Also running is Libertarian Party nominee Ken Krawchuk and Green Party nominee Paul Glover, although they were not invited to the chamber's debate.

1. Don't think it is a good idea for Trebek to moderate.

2. What is "how can we further trivialize our political process"?

3. Do the responses have to be in form of a question? Eh?

If you get caught just guess Paris, Coca-cola, or Jimmy Stewart.

6. This is a real life event.

What can a game show host possibly bring to the table. You might just as well have a Kardashian (sp) moderate. Good gravy people!
