A few minutes ago, the Atlanta Press Club officially canceled its plans for hosting U.S. Senate runoff debate for Sunday, executive director Lauri Straus said.
Neither Democrat Jim Martin nor Republican incumbent Saxby Chambliss would commit — each citing scheduling conflicts. Martin pointed to a visit from former Vice President Al Gore, and the Chambliss campaign said it had a fund-raiser on its calendar.
Press club debates involving two other runoffs, for Public Service Commission and the state Court of Appeals, will be held Sunday.
