I have two good pieces of news to report. First, today was the day the candidates had to show up to demo headquarters to pick their ballot spots. My race was scheduled for 4:00. The ante-chamber was packed full of candidates there to pick their number out of a hat. I was there. My opponent sent a proxy in his place. Once again, he is too busy to take part in the process. And he very well might be too busy since his office is now tied up this month RE-trying TWO, not one, but TWO capital murder cases due to prosecutor misconduct. Because my opponent had filed one day before I did, his proxy got to pick the numbered ball out of the box. He picked number TWO. Which in a two person race means I am numero uno! That's right, my name will appear first on the ballot. This is a big boon. Many people stop at the first name when voting.
Secondly, KVIA (channel seven) called tonight and asked me to participate in a debate that will be aired on January 28, 2008, a half hour before the State of the Union Address. Gary Warner will be the moderator. Here is the format: there will be no opening statements. Mr. Warner will ask a question and will alternate between the candidates as to who goes first. A minute is allotted per candidate per question. Each candidate will be able to ask her/his opponent one question. KVIA is only doing this for two races, the DA's and Haggerty's and Margo's. Each race will get 15 minutes. This is a big deal.
Do you have any suggestions as to what should be my one question for my opponent? Any input is appreciated.
