A good question.

It is my understanding that before the elections in St. Marys, candidate fora will be hosted by the St. Marys Eagles Club (no surprise there) and by newcomers, The Camden Watch Dogs. Someone on TOPIX has posed the following question with regards to the Watchdog forum. "Should we have a forum hosted by one of the special interest groups who have strategically placed a candidate in each post?" That strikes me as a valid question. What do y'all think? Update: Now, on TOPIX, "Rochester" (almost certainly yet another see-through nom de guerre of green eco weenie, Alex Kearns) feigning ignorance, has this to say: Rochester Reply » Report Abuse Judge it! #206 Which "special-interest groups" are you referring to and why would anyone want a forum that is hosted by a partisan coalition or any nature? Impartiality is crucial - without it the citizens will discount the proceedings as just one group or another drumming up support. Please explain... As if!

Uh, would that be three or four parties? Cyphers, Rillo, and Howell are obvious Watchdog candidates, but I'm not sure who the fourth one is. Anyone know? You know, the more I've thought about this, I believe that I will have to encourage ALL candidates to boycott the Watchdog sponsored candidates' forum. Rochester Reply » Report Abuse Judge it! #209 3 hrs ago As far as I'm concerned, the more public forums and candidate exposure the better. Well, hell's bells, of course you do, Alex, becuse you have no doubt extracted promises from each of the Watchdog candidates to support your leftist, anti-capitalist, green, eco-weenie agenda if elected. If L.J. Williams turns out to be the 4th one, he is actually the vice chair of the organization you founded ( and chair) to further your whacko environmetalist goals, the St. Marys Earthkeepers!
