Close to 6,000 views at this point. I would love to see a FR-style poll to help gauge the impact of candidates coming to FR to answer questions.

yea, this was a great idea! As you can see by people’s replies, a good many donations were sent to Hunter’s campaign as a result of this thread and it gave him great exposure. I’d think the more candidates that could be invited to do this sort of thing would really be great in boosting the stature of Free Republic too. I have a feeling many would accept an invitation if it were accorded to them (although perhaps some would get better receptions than others). :) lol

Back in 1999/2000 the only one with the guts to show up was Mr. Buchanan and the majority of his die-hard supporters ended up banned or suspended before it was over.

This has been your FR history lesson for this evening.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled FReeping....
