Liberal in the Land of Conservative

With the recent news that Bob Olson will remain in the race for the 6th District DFL endorsement, I have decided to post the entirety of the debate held at Anoka City Hall on March 16th.

Those who read this blog already know my feelings on this race and therefore I left out all commentary that I may or may not have about each video and only posted the question being answered. I encourage both sides to use the comments section of each posted video to discuss the merits or demerits of the answer.

On March 16th, 2008, Bob Olson and Elwyn Tinklenberg met at Anoka City Hall. These are their opening remarks for that debate.

Unfortunately, the answer to this question was somewhat lost because I was in the middle of changing the tape in my camera. However, I put it up due to the exchange that comes at the end of the responses.

My apologies to the Tinklenberg Campaign...

In this two part video, candidates were given time to ask four questions. Candidates were then given two minutes to respond to their opponents question.
