Candidates for governor, superintendent of public instruction, commissioner of Agriculture, commissioner of Insurance, Guilford County Board of Education and High Point City Council were invited, so is the public.

Wednesday: UNCG's Department of Political Science fall lecture series kicks off with the panel discussion, “North Carolina Elections 2008: Change or Continuity?” The panelists are Rob Christensen from the News & Observer and Dr. Thad Beyle, Ph.D., of UNC-Chapel Hill.

Friday: There's a presidential debate at Ole Miss, people!
Also, while this isn't exactly tied to an election, you might dig this if you're into politics and law and don't have any plans Monday.
