1. Wow, this would be cool!

I'd like to hear how Bell does against the practiced politicians.

3. I went

and actually I rather liked Ford Bell. He was clear and straight forward and said things a progressive likes to hear. I have to say I was less impressed with Patty Wetterling, as a candidate overall.
Kelly Doran couldn't make it, but had some people there with liturature.
Patty was there, didn't have anyone with her and no lit. Amy had a ton of people there.

5. I heard Ford Bell earlier at the SD 63 picnic

I was impressed with what he had to say as well. Patty did a pretty good job as well. Amy had someone there representing her. If there was anyone there for Kelly Doran, I missed them.

One thing I noticed is that Bell needs to do a better job of working the crowd. He spend too much time hanging with his own people and talking to other politicians.

2. Is this going to be televised? nt

4. I was very impressed with both Amy and Ford.

Patty, not so much. She didn't seem very interested or enthused.

6. I have been starting to get into Ford Bell....

I was a Patty backer, but might break ranks.

Bell has all kind of in-depth knowledge on a large wealth of topics. I bet could out debate Kennedy pretty easily.
