This Saturday, AM1280 will be joining with the North Ramsey County Republicans in putting on the first really good gubernatorial candidates’ debate of the season!
Brad Carlson and I will host the event, at the Concordia Academy in Roseville (just north of Highway 36 on Dale Street). The debate will start promptly at 1PM, and will be heavily audience-participation focused.
As this is written candidates (in alpabetical order) Rob Farnsworth, Scott Honour, Jeff Johnson, Marty Seifert and Dave Thompson are all on the line-up. This may be the best debate you’ll hear before the caucuses.
It’s a fund-raiser for the North Ramsey County Republicans (House districts 42A, 42B and 66A). Admission is $10 if you register in advance. Refreshments will be provided, and I don’t think it’s unreasonable to assume some of us are going to adjourn to a local watering hole afteward for a post-debate wrapup.
So sign up and come on out! It’s going to be a fun event!
A couple of conservative friends of mine that have heard Scott Honour speak, are happy with his message, but feel that his business like approach and lack of charisma make him unelectable. Allthough they like that approach, they said he never smiled during about a 40 minute speech a couple of months ago, so their opinions are that he won’t appeal to independents or conservative Democrats. Unfortunately, I can’t make it to the debate, due to a prior commitment, so would appreciate some feedback on Monday from anyone that attends.
