A well done interview, some more specific questions would help the reader get a better feel for the candidate.

It would have been nice to feature some follow-up questions, instead of how it is now, when it seems that there only are some standard, pre-written questions that are asked.

What would you have liked for me to ask?

The questions here are the same as at Wikinews interviews U.S. Libertarian Party potential presidential candidate R.J. Harris. I asked the questions to all Libertarian candidates to get a good comparison. Though many showed interest, at this time only Harris and Wrights have filled out the questionnaire. I was initially going to put the answers for all the candidates together on one page for comparison, but Harris had very long answers, and seemed to be the only one who was going to do it.

I, for one, appreciate your format. Too much political jargon and double talk and I get confused. A failing of mine, I fear, to have such a low tolerant for political talk, and such difficulty understanding it.

Nice piece -- crisp. clear, and with valuable info. Thanks.

I agree. Finally a politician who gives clear answers!

Indeed. While there are certainly some places where we disagree, I do appreciate his honesty and openness.

{All}"300 million Americans have 2 choices for president? Can you imagine having 2 colors to pick for your car? Red or Blue. No silver, or black w/ chrome rims. No racing yellow or hunter green. Nope - 2 colors, red or blue. The 2 party system has failed us. Our corrupt corporate propaganda media has failed us. You cannot give 300 million people 2 choices & expect change. They feign fighting on TV while they sleep together at night. We need a 3rd, 4th, 5th choice to fairly represent us" -shwantz2 on youtube

For some reason your post just says 1984. Which is really sad that that book did kind of come to fruition in a way.

It should be like Canada, where the politicians have only one month to prepare, giving them less time to tell us lies and false promises.
