If I go to the MN3 forum tonight (Jan 31, '08) will I probably get to ask the candidates a question?

1. I was there :)

did you ask one?

I have to admit I'm torn between Madia and Hovland. Hovland needs more fire though.

2. Yes, I asked Terri Bonoff a question before the formal start of the event.

I did a write-up about asking her a question here:

I think Terri Bonoff is more electable than Ashwin Madea is a district which leans Republican.

He wants to fight for more corporate regulation, etc., and I agree, but I don't think "I'm a fighter" is what pro-choice Republicans on the fence want to hear. I think Terri Bonoff would be easier for pro-choice Republicans to vote for (as she mentioned, the Republican is anti-choice.)

If this were a Democratic district, then I'd support Madea, but I'm choosing Bonoff instead for electability here.

3. Hovland is most electable

He's got the experience and knows the issues the best. He'd steamroll Paulsen.
