California Gov Candidate Debate Audio - Camejo, Huffington and Bustamante

Sept. 9, 2003 debate featuring Peter Camejo, Arianna Huffington and Cruz Bustamante // Two mp3 files // Pacifica Radio coverage, broadcast live on KPFA, KPFK and KFCF

Republican candidates were missing in action today at a debate sponsored by

New California Media, a group comprised of some 400 print, broadcast and online ethnic/alternative

media organizations.  The type of questions and the audience dynamic was

different from what you would normally find with mainstream media

treatment. 

You can click on the following links to download mp3 files. 

Alternatively, I've added links that use DC-IMC/radio.indymedia.org's streaming

server if you want to stream the mp3 files but can't do that with a standard mp3

file (some browsers have trouble).

The first file has a preliminary discussion with Davey

D from Hard Knock Radio and Sonali

Kolhatkar from KPFK.  It also has the

first part of the debate.  I lost about 40 seconds of audio in the

transition between files, but you don't miss much of the actual content or

context.  The second file has the balance of the debate and then an

extended discussion with Davey D, Kolhatkar, Van

Jones (who was among the first activists to call for Huffington to run and

is now part of the campaign), KPFK's Fidel Rodriquez, a representative from the

Peace and Freedom Party that went by the initials "CT" (sorry, I

missed the full name) and callers from across California.

It's likely the mainstream media will downplay the debate, failing to provide much coverage.  But the full audio is now here.  It

makes for interesting listening.
