LGBT Debate - Viewer opinions wanted
Aug 7th, 2007 by Viviane
There will be a debate with seven of the eight current Democratic contenders for the Presidential nomination - every one except Biden - on Logo, the LGBT channel, on August 9. You can watch it on cable if you get the channel, or on Logo’s website. You can submit a question for the debate here.
In addition to being the newsletter editor for the Washington State Stonewall Democrats, I am a member of the OffTheBus campaign analysis team at Huffington Post, and hope to cover this debate. I’m interested in getting some reactions from people before, possibly during, and definitely after the debate. I ask that you be willing to identify yourself with your real first name, last name, and city and state of residence in order to be interviewed for this. I’ll want to talk via either phone or email with the same people both before and after; email me at my LJ address to get started. Here are some of the questions I’m interested in:
- Will you watch this debate?
- Did you know about it before this post?
- What do you think of the idea of having an LGBT-focused debate?
- What questions do you want answered?
- What is your stakehold in this? Do you consider yourself to be a member of the LGBT community, a straight ally, an opponent, or what?
- What is your impression of the candidates going into this debate? I’ll also want to know your impression of them afterward, and whether that’s changed for any of them, and why.
- What is your impression of the candidates who were invited but didn’t choose to participate: Joe Biden and every Republican contender? Has that changed due to their decision not to participate in this debate?
Thanks,
