The people who pick the debate dates for our gubernatorial candidates need some help. Two debates had to be rescheduled due to seemingly obvious conflicts. The folks at WBZ originally planned the first debate for September 8. That turned out to be the start of Rosh Hashanah. The debate was moved to September 7 without a hitch. The next gubernatorial debate got moved from Tuesday, October 26 to Monday, October 25 to avoid conflict with the Boston Celtics' season-opening game against the Miami Heat. One word: Interns!

Someone at WBZ must have checked their calendar, or simply read Bostonist, because they already moved the first guberatorial debate to avoid a conflict with the Jewish New Year. The start of Rosh Hashanah is one of the holiest days on the Jewish calendar. The first debate was initially scheduled for September 8 at 7 p.m. It's now set for September 7 at 7 p.m. The debate includes Governor Deval Patrick, Republican Charles D. Baker, state Treasurer Timothy P. Cahill, an independent, and Green-Rainbow candidate Jill Stein, who is Jewish. We love it when people, or TV stations, simply do the right thing.
