[Vision2020] Moscow Chamber: Candidates Forum

[Sue Hovey]

I'm not convinced, but maybe that's because there's a local candidate forum 
I plan to attend tomorrow night and then I'm doing the AARP forum this 
coming Friday.  So my choice is easy.  But I bet I'm not alone in deciding 
to forego the Chamber forum because I want to watch the national debate 
unfold .  (And also to argue with my husband in a real time situation, as he 
is supporting the OTHER candidate.)
