Hopefully someone can shed some light on this. Something is up there though....

I was there. My memory is a bit hazy but apparently the head person organizing the forum (Brian Lee) repeatedly tried to contact Higgins (or her people) in order to get her to attend. Her people told him that she had prior engagements and when he asked the campaign manager what they were and what was more important than sharing her platform etc he said it was none of his business.
These forums are pretty informative, you get a good sense of the candidates and can be entertaining when candidates go on the attack. I encourage everyone to try and attend. Attending may not ultimately decide your vote, but it becomes real easy to decide who NOT to vote for.
Last thing, Alnoor Kassam will likely not get my vote, but he's pretty damn funny at these things.
