I would have liked for at least one question to have been about the economy as well.

They were put in the poll, it just didn't get enough votes. Maybe next time.

Thanks for the praise everyone but let's remember that I only hatched the idea. Alonzo and others worked very hard to put this together.
I am very pleased to see people are actively participating. We should do it again in 6 months or so. Remember...we have term limits :) This is a good reminder that despite our politcal differences we all believe in and enjoy the process of democracy!
Best of luck to all those participating in the debate.

I think so too. It should almost be a mandatory question. This is the first go around Lance and I think in the future after a proper AAR, or After Action Review for all of those without a military backround, we can identify the improvements that should be made.

Actually, I don't think there was a question that directly related to the economy put in the poll.
