After outlining their proposals, both candidates sat down for a question and answer session with Larry Jacobs, director of the Humphrey Institute's Center for the Study of Politics and Governance.

Independence Party candidate David Dillon gets his turn at the Humphrey Institute lectern on Friday at noon. If you can't be there in person, check Polinaut for the audio.
