MN Governor e-Debate 2006 First Impressions
10 Oct 2006 in MNPolitics, Minneapolis, Politics by GarrickSteven Clift is moderating the 2006 MN Gubernatorial candidate e-dbate. I’ve been following along via the RSS feed. Ever day a new question - perfect.
This is exactly how I like my politics - integrated into how I do everything already (RSS).
The questions are good, the answers are surprisingly good considering it’s a ‘political debate’. I credit Steven’s format: the candidates aren’t live and aren’t in the same room - and his intro kick-off video.
Even a couple questions in, it’s obvious who the serious candidates are (Pawlenty, Hatch). It’s great that the other candidates are running, and kudos to everyone for participating in the e-debate. I still don’t get being a single-issue candidate, just fixing the issue seems like a much more direct way of changing things than gambling on winning an election.
