From the Center for Michigan:

Michigan citizens will get an in-depth, issues-oriented look at the candidates for governor and dozens of important Michigan House and Senate seats through a new bipartisan initiative called Great Debates 2010. An unprecedented partnership of 19 leading trade organizations including MAUW and numerous public broadcasters across the state, Great Debates 2010 aims to provide:

• Three, one-hour gubernatorial debates (one in each major party primary and one during the general election cycle).
• 50, half-hour legislative debates (during the general election cycle);
• Several multi-candidate legislative forums in both the primary and general cycles.

Altogether, the Great Debates program is expected to run from July thru Election Day (November 2). The Debates will be broadcast on public television and freely distributed in video format for "on demand" online viewing across the state. For example, the Great Debates videos will air, free of charge to viewers, on MiVote.org, a co-production of UM-Dearborn and Detroit Public Television. MiVote.org uses candidate interviews and person-on-the-street interviews to engage and educate Michigan voters.
