    Let's hope there is a better format than the recent gubernatorial debate. The losers of that debate were the viewers since the format did not allow any follow-ups and the lackluster questioners stuck to their prepared questions and never asked any follow-ups of their own. It was a dreadful format and any debate using that format is a complete waste of time and effort!

    And again, it is JUST the Democratic & Republican candidates...WHY????? I know there have to be others out there - lets get them involved as well!!! The "People" are sick and tired of the same old stories in politics! WE demand change! Enough with the "special intrest groups" and the ones that have all the money - Show us ALL candidates so we may make INFORMED decisions as to who is the best choice for the job!!!!
