Wow what great topics to debate. Will you have tapes or mp3's of the debates for those of us who live far from Indiana?

Well still I don't live in North Carolina but noticed after I sent the comments that the debate was not in Indiana.

Dear Seeking:

One of the debates is in NC near Charlotte and the other is in Indiana. We will try to make the debates available in some form.

I hope you can attend one. If you need arrangements, let me know.

God bless
