I don't think anyone is proposing Minneapolis-Issues as the end-all! However, if I was a serious but relatively unknown candidate looking to bypass media filters and publicize the issues of my campaign, this is a logical place (among many) to be. Of course, the "readers" here can talk back, which always has its risks. But it's false to present list participation as an either/or proposition for public campaigning. By participating, we could probably learn something from her and perhaps she from us. David Brauer Kingfield REMINDERS: 1. Be civil! Please read the NEW RULES at http://www.e-democracy.org/rules.
