It looks like Jim Bunning (R-Ky) has decided to duck the second debate tonight with Dr. Dan Mongiardo. No word on what excuse he's using. The link for the debate page (which is excerpted below) is

Election 2004: Candidate Forums
One of Kentucky's two U.S. Senate seats and five of the state's six U.S. House seats are being contested this fall. (U.S. Rep. Harold "Hal" Rogers is unopposed in the 5th Congressional District.) KET invited all of the candidates whose names will appear on the ballot in these contested races to participate in candidate forums originating from our studios.
In the forums, moderated by KET's Bill Goodman, candidates answer questions from journalists. Each of the remaining programs will air live on KET1, with simultaneous live video streaming, and will be archived online after the broadcast.
