Jimmy Vielkind reports at Capital New York that after months of not campaigning and ignoring challenges by opponents to debate, Governor Andrew Cuomo's campaign agreed to two debates in October. Cuomo has agreed to a one-on-one debate between the incumbent Governor and his Republican opponent, Westchester County executive Rob Astorino, in New York City, sponsored by WNYC and the Wall Street Journal. Another debate in Buffalo, sponsored by The Buffalo News and WNED-WBFO, will feature Cuomo, Astorino, Libertarian candidate Michael McDermott and Green Party nominee Howie Hawkins. No dates have been set for the debates as of yet. Five candidates in all, including Steve Cohn of the Sapient Party, have been certified for the ballot in November for governor.
