The GOP's last statewide victories -- for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner -- came on Sundheim's watch a decade ago. Del Beccaro's brief tenure, from 2011 to 2013, was marked by the state party's financial meltdown and its unsuccessful attempt to block Democrats from gaining two-thirds majorities in both houses of the Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such were the Chosen Five deemed serious enough -- meaning they had perceptible support in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.field.com/fieldpollonline/subscribers/Rls2532.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Field Poll\u003c/a> last month -- to rate an invite. And those poll results, for what it's worth, showed Harris with 27 percent voter support, Sanchez with 14, Unz with 5, Beccaro with 4 and Sundheim with 2. The most telling number of all: 48 percent of those surveyed said they were still undecided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what did those undecideds see? Here are a few of the highlights, and otherwise, on our scorecard:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Calm Before ... :\u003c/strong> Perhaps the best moment for Kamala Harris, and certainly the most relaxed one, came in the moments before the debate started. During the candidates' mic check, Del Beccaro and Sanchez recited snatches of \"Mary Had a Little Lamb,\" Unz intoned, \"Testing one, two, three,\" and Harris -- Harris began singing \"Kumbaya.\" That left Sundheim, who responded, \"There's no way I can follow that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You Want Life Experience?\u003c/strong> The opening softball thrown to the five candidates was: \"What is it about your life experience that makes you the best person for this job?\" Duf \"2 Percent\" Sundheim led off. As he enumerated it, his key life experience included never holding elective office, getting Gov. Gray Davis recalled and passing San Jose's \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-news/ci_29875014/san-jose-council-takes-final-step-repeal-measure\" target=\"_blank\">now-dead\u003c/a> pension reform measure. In fact, Sundheim used most of his 60 seconds to attack Harris and \u003cem>her\u003c/em> life experience, branding her a life-long politician and one who is \"in the pocket of her donors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>More Life Experience:\u003c/strong> Del Beccaro, who was born in 1961 but whose \u003ca href=\"http://www.delbeccaroforsenate.com/about/\" target=\"_blank\">campaign biography\u003c/a> calls him a product of 1950s Chicago, said growing up in a big family taught him how to work with others. \"I'm one of eight children,\" he said. \"When you're the sixth child, you learn to share, although I must admit that with five older brothers and sisters, it felt more like taking.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/CoxRmwaLBOQ\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>She's Fleeing the Interview:\u003c/strong> There's \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoxRmwaLBOQ\" target=\"_blank\">a great scene\u003c/a> in the movie \"Fargo\" where the small-town police chief played by Frances McDormand goes to talk to car salesman William H. Macy, whose story about his wife's kidnapping is starting to unravel. Flustered, Macy gets up in the middle of the conversation and says he'll be right back. Then McDormand looks out the window, only to see him driving away. \"Oh, for Pete's sake. He's fleeing the interview!\" she cries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Something like that happened when KQED's Scott Shafer \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/7AVucpSPXR0?t=15m54s\" target=\"_blank\">asked Attorney General Harris\u003c/a> about her \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/politics/la-me-pol-ca-harris-police-shootings-20160118-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">apparent standoffishness\u003c/a> when it comes to investigating allegations of police wrongdoing. \"Why do you refuse to open civil rights investigations of police departments, as Jerry Brown and Bill Lockyer did when they were attorney general?\" Shafer inquired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's actually inaccurate,\" Harris said. \"We have actually been providing oversight on the cases that are going on not only in San Francisco but other counties in the state. I've been very open about that. In fact, I've indicated I've assigned the head of my civil rights division to work and oversee the work that is happening with the United States Department of Justice in San Francisco.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No, that wasn't exactly responsive. The question, after all, was about opening civil rights investigations, not \"providing oversight,\" whatever that means. But the rest of her answer, focusing on the need for sweeping criminal justice reform and her sterling record in San Francisco, amounted to hiding behind talking points -- or fleeing the interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Oh, for Pete's Sake:\u003c/strong> Rep. Sanchez, whose public appearances I have not before had the pleasure of scrutinizing, also had an early \"fleeing the interview\" moment under Shafer's questioning. \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/7AVucpSPXR0?t=17m32s\" target=\"_blank\">He asked\u003c/a> why she had voted for a bill granting gunmakers broad immunity from product liability. She never got around to saying why she had cast the vote. But she offered that she supported the bill, even though the Brady Center on Gun Violence opposed it, and suggested that was a sign of her independence. Plus, she said, she also voted against the war on Iraq despite disagreements with some. And now the Brady Center likes her and the National Rifle Association hates her, she said, and that's OK because she has protected Americans from gun violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>San Onofre Nuclear Waste:\u003c/strong> Amita Sharma of KPBS, the debate moderator, \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/7AVucpSPXR0?t=49m5s\" target=\"_blank\">asked Harris\u003c/a> why her office is defending a California Coastal Commission decision to allow more than 1 million pounds of nuclear waste to be buried near the now-closed San Onofre Nuclear Plant in San Diego County. Harris deflected the question, saying that she couldn't discuss the issue because the commission is her client. Changing the subject, she added: \"I have spent my entire career as attorney general protecting the consumers of California -- against big oil, against the five big banks of the United States when I brought back $20 billion, students against Corinthian Colleges and predatory lending practices for the students of California.\" When Sharma asked again about the San Onofre nuclear waste, Harris repeated that she couldn't talk about that but allowed that nuclear waste is bad and should be cleaned up wherever it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Worse Than Nuclear Waste:\u003c/strong> Sharma asked the other panelists what they thought ought to be done with the San Onofre nuclear waste. Sanchez said nuclear waste is bad but that no one wants it except maybe someone in Texas. Del Beccaro said a study should be done to expedite the waste's removal.

He said he'd need to study the problem, then decide what to do about it. But then he added that the San Onofre nuclear waste is an example of \"how the media distracts us from issues that are significant to issues that are peripheral.\" After all, he said, there's no evidence that the nuclear waste on the San Diego County coast has killed anyone yet. Much worse, he said, was Vioxx -- the anti-inflammatory drug implicated in the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans after it was approved in 1999. Unz said the media ignored \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5470430\" target=\"_blank\">the story\u003c/a>.

A more recent Unz brainchild: \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/11/26/conversative-activist-ron-unz-campaign-for-higher-minimum-wage\">a proposed initiative\u003c/a> that would have raised the state's minimum wage to $12 by this year. His conservative reasoning: Pay the working poor more so they'll need less government aid. Unz \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/03/17/ron-unz-minimum-wage-measure-unlikely-to-make-ballot\" target=\"_blank\">bailed on that campaign\u003c/a> when it failed to draw significant support or funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two other GOP candidates who appeared on the San Diego stage Tuesday night, \u003cstrong>Duf Sundheim\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>Tom Del Beccaro\u003c/strong>, are both Bay Area attorneys and former chairs of the state Republican Party. The GOP's last statewide victories -- for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner -- came on Sundheim's watch a decade ago. Del Beccaro's brief tenure, from 2011 to 2013, was marked by the state party's financial meltdown and its unsuccessful attempt to block Democrats from gaining two-thirds majorities in both houses of the Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such were the Chosen Five deemed serious enough -- meaning they had perceptible support in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.field.com/fieldpollonline/subscribers/Rls2532.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Field Poll\u003c/a> last month -- to rate an invite. And those poll results, for what it's worth, showed Harris with 27 percent voter support, Sanchez with 14, Unz with 5, Beccaro with 4 and Sundheim with 2. The most telling number of all: 48 percent of those surveyed said they were still undecided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what did those undecideds see? Here are a few of the highlights, and otherwise, on our scorecard:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Calm Before ... :\u003c/strong> Perhaps the best moment for Kamala Harris, and certainly the most relaxed one, came in the moments before the debate started. During the candidates' mic check, Del Beccaro and Sanchez recited snatches of \"Mary Had a Little Lamb,\" Unz intoned, \"Testing one, two, three,\" and Harris -- Harris began singing \"Kumbaya.\" That left Sundheim, who responded, \"There's no way I can follow that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You Want Life Experience?\u003c/strong> The opening softball thrown to the five candidates was: \"What is it about your life experience that makes you the best person for this job?\" Duf \"2 Percent\" Sundheim led off. As he enumerated it, his key life experience included never holding elective office, getting Gov. Gray Davis recalled and passing San Jose's \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-news/ci_29875014/san-jose-council-takes-final-step-repeal-measure\" target=\"_blank\">now-dead\u003c/a> pension reform measure. In fact, Sundheim used most of his 60 seconds to attack Harris and \u003cem>her\u003c/em> life experience, branding her a life-long politician and one who is \"in the pocket of her donors.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>More Life Experience:\u003c/strong> Del Beccaro, who was born in 1961 but whose \u003ca href=\"http://www.delbeccaroforsenate.com/about/\" target=\"_blank\">campaign biography\u003c/a> calls him a product of 1950s Chicago, said growing up in a big family taught him how to work with others. \"I'm one of eight children,\" he said. \"When you're the sixth child, you learn to share, although I must admit that with five older brothers and sisters, it felt more like taking.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/CoxRmwaLBOQ\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>She's Fleeing the Interview:\u003c/strong> There's \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoxRmwaLBOQ\" target=\"_blank\">a great scene\u003c/a> in the movie \"Fargo\" where the small-town police chief played by Frances McDormand goes to talk to car salesman William H. Macy, whose story about his wife's kidnapping is starting to unravel. Flustered, Macy gets up in the middle of the conversation and says he'll be right back. Then McDormand looks out the window, only to see him driving away. \"Oh, for Pete's sake. He's fleeing the interview!\" she cries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Something like that happened when KQED's Scott Shafer \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/7AVucpSPXR0?t=15m54s\" target=\"_blank\">asked Attorney General Harris\u003c/a> about her \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/politics/la-me-pol-ca-harris-police-shootings-20160118-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">apparent standoffishness\u003c/a> when it comes to investigating allegations of police wrongdoing. \"Why do you refuse to open civil rights investigations of police departments, as Jerry Brown and Bill Lockyer did when they were attorney general?\" Shafer inquired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's actually inaccurate,\" Harris said. \"We have actually been providing oversight on the cases that are going on not only in San Francisco but other counties in the state. I've been very open about that. In fact, I've indicated I've assigned the head of my civil rights division to work and oversee the work that is happening with the United States Department of Justice in San Francisco.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No, that wasn't exactly responsive. The question, after all, was about opening civil rights investigations, not \"providing oversight,\" whatever that means. But the rest of her answer, focusing on the need for sweeping criminal justice reform and her sterling record in San Francisco, amounted to hiding behind talking points -- or fleeing the interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Oh, for Pete's Sake:\u003c/strong> Rep. Sanchez, whose public appearances I have not before had the pleasure of scrutinizing, also had an early \"fleeing the interview\" moment under Shafer's questioning. \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/7AVucpSPXR0?t=17m32s\" target=\"_blank\">He asked\u003c/a> why she had voted for a bill granting gunmakers broad immunity from product liability. She never got around to saying why she had cast the vote. But she offered that she supported the bill, even though the Brady Center on Gun Violence opposed it, and suggested that was a sign of her independence. Plus, she said, she also voted against the war on Iraq despite disagreements with some. And now the Brady Center likes her and the National Rifle Association hates her, she said, and that's OK because she has protected Americans from gun violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>San Onofre Nuclear Waste:\u003c/strong> Amita Sharma of KPBS, the debate moderator, \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/7AVucpSPXR0?t=49m5s\" target=\"_blank\">asked Harris\u003c/a> why her office is defending a California Coastal Commission decision to allow more than 1 million pounds of nuclear waste to be buried near the now-closed San Onofre Nuclear Plant in San Diego County. Harris deflected the question, saying that she couldn't discuss the issue because the commission is her client. Changing the subject, she added: \"I have spent my entire career as attorney general protecting the consumers of California -- against big oil, against the five big banks of the United States when I brought back $20 billion, students against Corinthian Colleges and predatory lending practices for the students of California.\" When Sharma asked again about the San Onofre nuclear waste, Harris repeated that she couldn't talk about that but allowed that nuclear waste is bad and should be cleaned up wherever it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Worse Than Nuclear Waste:\u003c/strong> Sharma asked the other panelists what they thought ought to be done with the San Onofre nuclear waste. Sanchez said nuclear waste is bad but that no one wants it except maybe someone in Texas. Del Beccaro said a study should be done to expedite the waste's removal. Sundheim didn't have anything to say about the waste but opined Harris is doing a lousy job investigating apparently illegal contacts between state utility regulators and one of the utilities that owned San Onofre.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unz, the theoretical physicist, had the most interesting answer. He said he'd need to study the problem, then decide what to do about it. But then he added that the San Onofre nuclear waste is an example of \"how the media distracts us from issues that are significant to issues that are peripheral.\" After all, he said, there's no evidence that the nuclear waste on the San Diego County coast has killed anyone yet.

Each question will be on the screen. So if a candidate dodges the question or veers off topic, you’ll be able to see exactly what he or she was asked in the first place. Candidates, take note and just answer the questions. For radio listeners, expect the moderator or panelists to point out candidates who dodge the questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>How does the audience get to participate?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>We didn’t want a debate without a little audience participation. That’s why one of the questions was picked from an online poll — no, it wasn’t scientific — done by KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio. First, we asked for questions that you wanted us to ask. Three topics emerged as the most popular: the Affordable Care Act, foreign policy and the environment. Then we let you vote online. The environment won, so the candidates can expect a climate change question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another question will come from the studio audience, which will largely be made up of students from \u003ca href=\"http://www.sdsu.edu\">San Diego State University\u003c/a>. (If you didn’t know, KPBS is based on the SDSU campus.) We want to get these millennials engaged in the election, given that turnout among voters under 24 in the June 2014 primary was abysmal — \u003ca href=\"http://explore.regionalchange.ucdavis.edu/ourwork/projects/ccep/ucdavisyouthvotebrief8\">3.7 percent in California\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What’s this Facebook Live pre-debate show?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>This is our way of getting the debate fun started early. Before the show, KPBS — with help from our partners at KPCC and KQED — will host a Facebook live stream starting around 6:15 p.m. Tuesday. KPBS anchor Maya Trabulsi will take Facebook viewers around the station and into the studio to catch some of the action before the candidates arrive on stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along the way, she’ll talk to some of the SDSU students and give them a pop quiz on politics. (She needs to go easy on them. This is finals week on campus, after all.)

We want to get these millennials engaged in the election, given that turnout among voters under 24 in the June 2014 primary was abysmal — \u003ca href=\"http://explore.regionalchange.ucdavis.edu/ourwork/projects/ccep/ucdavisyouthvotebrief8\">3.7 percent in California\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What’s this Facebook Live pre-debate show?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>This is our way of getting the debate fun started early. Before the show, KPBS — with help from our partners at KPCC and KQED — will host a Facebook live stream starting around 6:15 p.m. Tuesday. KPBS anchor Maya Trabulsi will take Facebook viewers around the station and into the studio to catch some of the action before the candidates arrive on stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along the way, she’ll talk to some of the SDSU students and give them a pop quiz on politics. (She needs to go easy on them. This is finals week on campus, after all.)
