I think for the most part, the incumbents behaved pretty much as expected, though I will admit that Jerry Clark seemed very aggitated for whatever reason. They are a known quantity. I think highly of Wilson Parran, but the others I'm ready for a change. Especially Shaw. (Jerry Clark, Wilson Parran, Susan Shaw, Linda Kelley)

Then I felt like a few candidates really seemed on, and I learned some things about, and will probably be voting for Mike Benton, Bill Chambers, E. Lloyd Robertson, Becky Tice, and Charlie Donnelly.

Please give your summaries!
Thanks for asking....

I really enjoyed listening to the new candidates for delegate out of PG County. I'm glad I don't have to decide which woman to vote for. I like them both.... Of course Mr. Brown did good too....

I thought Bartlett talked too fast for me to understand him. Brennerman seemed to know what he was talking about and he was confident. McKinney was on attack, not quite as sharp as the first too but definitely showed heart. Evans seemed to be a defensive bully.... that's quite unusual for him but it was not his best night.

On the Commissioners....

Right before the forum began, Tony O'Donnell came by and told us to enjoy ourselves.... and I took his advice. So I had a great time.

I don't trust Bill Chambers [because of CARL] but I agree he did an excellent job.

I'm watching it again.... so I'll make more comments in a while...
