The actual campaigns.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u2022 There will be four campaign debates for each elected office. The first will be held before the primaries; all candidates will participate.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Although some of the rules will be negotiable, some will not: the questions will not be provided in advance to the candidates. They will be culled from public correspondence, solicited for the purpose, and will focus on matters of concern to citizens.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Each question will be asked of each candidate who will be given a set but ample time to respond. Follow-up questions will come from the candidates themselves.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Each gathering will be an actual spontaneous debate \u2013 we\u2019ll get to hear the candidates argue, present ideas, face opposition, look smart or stupid.<\/p>\n

Moisturizer, anyone?<\/p>\n

\u2022 The candidates will be encouraged to make joint campaign appearances as part of the continuous debate. Any candidate that sets a staged and scripted presentation will be noticed by the media, as will the candidate whose appearances are spontaneous.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Candidates are discouraged from blessing us by invoking a Supernatural Personality, such as in \u201cGod bless America.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
