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.

I heard some of Alnoors lines from friend who was there. Sounded hilarious!! "Close your eyes and imagine a city where we could lower the tax rate by two percent." I also heard that Burrows was going after McIver in a big way.
I should go to some of these. At the same time most of the people there are already decided voters, and most of the questions are planted. I still think that they are really important though and I will likely attend a few over the next month or two.
