* I’ll post a link or an embed before tonight’s gubernatorial debate begins at 6. CBS 2 hasn’t yet posted anything on its site.

From the station…

Crews are busy getting the DuSable Museum Auditorium ready for Tuesday’s debate, which will be televised on CBS 2 at 6 p.m. CBS 2’s Dorothy Tucker introduces us to the two groups behind the debate.

Andrea Zopp is the CEO of the Chicago Urban League which has been promoting jobs, businesses, education, and political empowerment in Chicago’s African-American community for nearly 100 years.

“Our vision is that a stronger African-American community is a better Chicago,” Zopp said.

Hosting political debates is not new to the Urban League. Among the many, the Democratic primary gubernatorial debate in 1984, the 2000 U.S. congressional debate and now the gubernatorial debate between incumbent Pat Quinn and Republican candidate Bruce Rauner.

Rich, thanks for hooking us up.

Wasn’t Andrea Zopp Jack O’Malley’s 1st Asst. State’s Attorney?

I wouldn’t be able to watch without this Rich. Channel 2 doesn’t exist inside city limits if you don’t have cable.

Huh? Do they mean the Senate race that year?
