— Repub-

Abbott
on Friday
backed
out of a
statewide
televised
debate with
Democrat
Wendy Davis, leaving voters
with just one chance to watch
the gubernatorial hopefuls
go head-to-head before the
November election.
Abbott balked at the
roundtable format of the Sept.
30 debate at Dallas televi-
sion station WFAA, which
would have been the second
of only two scheduled debates
before Election Day. The other
is Sept. 19 in McAllen and
will be carried live in sev-
eral Texas markets, although
there are no current deals in
place with Dallas or Houston
stations.
A roundtable format typi-
cally enables more candid
debates and dialogue between
the candidates, rather than
answering questions individ-
ually directed at them by a set
of panelists.
“We wanted an environ-
ment that was conducive to a
thoughtful policy discussion.
