    @ccc. There are three persons in the circle and you only have one vote. So it is left up to the rest of the voters in the district to choose the representative. Let’s all wait and see what happens on the 24. There could be some surprises. Remember not everyone wears the color green.

    Why are candidates being given the questions before hand? This is like a take home test and not indicative of the candidates knowledge of, command of subject matter, preparation for office, etc. This is pure make believe and performance theatre. A politician should be quick on his or her feet, being ready and able to respond to variety of questions at any time., any where, etc.

      How could you speak on something intelligently without doing your homework and research. You are being ridiculous with the question. If they try to answer on the fly you will be saying why they did not do the research or know the answer!
