I've been out-of-town, so haven't seen the referenced tabloid, but
think that v2020 should be a open forum. If the politico's want to
exchange views (with each other or with us), they should be
encouraged. ttrail seems to be the only state guy openly
contributing. What I see doesn't smell like electioneering, but more
reporting?

In a way, what's the difference between "getting information to the
voters" and "campaigning" anyway? Different Info? Different Info Filters?
Different point-of-view???
