The problem at the moment is that everyone is pushing flat out on the election, so getting folks to come on and talk issues is not the world’s easiest thing to do. (Although we do have Sen. Cardin coming on this afternoon to talk election issues — and I hope it’s a good chat. It will be his first foray online, and he’s been looking forward to it.)</p> Would love it — we have a pretty much open-ended invitation for any number of elected folks if they want to really come on and talk issues with everyone.
