{Frankfort, Kentucky}...As the November 8th election nears, a 90-minute faceoff, being broadcast statewide on Kentucky Educational Television, beginning at 8:00 P.M. Monday, will give Republican David Williams and Independent Gatewood Galbraith a final opportunity to confront Democratic Governor Steve Beshear in person. University of Louisville political scientist Laurie Rhodebeck says the public television debate isn't likely to sway a race in which Williams trails by some 30 percentage points and Galbraith by 50. Secretary of State Elaine Walker says she expects as few as 25 percent of the state's registered voters will cast ballots.
