I will be waiting to hear from KFAI and Mr. MacFarlane about this matter. If someone is gracious enough to have a candidate forum the least that should happen is that all the candidates be invited. There would be the hope that the organizers would be non-partisan. To exclude a candidate sounds much like a bias on the part of the organizers. I would be curious to know who all the invited candidates were. Were there other candidates that were also excluded?
