UEBERROTH: I'M IN FAVOR OF THE DEATH PENALTY. AND I THINK WE HAVE TO USE ALL SCIENCE TO ENSURE WE DO NOT MAKE ANY MISTAKES. THAT IS NOT WHY I'M RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR. I'M RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR BECAUSE WE'RE IN TERRIBLE SHAPE, A CRISIS, AND THAT IS WHAT THE RECALL IS ABOUT. THE RECALL IS ABOUT A STATE OF CRISIS, TIGHTEN THE BELT AND GET NEW REVENUE SO WE CAN OPERATE. AND WE'LL DO ALL OF THE SOCIAL ISSUES WE WANT TO DO. RIGHT NOW WE WANT TO SEND OUR JOBS OUT, TALK TO PEOPLE IN THE STREET, TALK TO SMALL BUSINESS. THEY WILL BE NOT WANTING ME TO TALK ABOUT THE DEATH PENALTY. THEY WANT TO TALK ABOUT HOW TO PROTECT THEIR JOBS AND BUSINESSES.

SHANDOBIL: THAT WAS CALLED STAYING ON MESSAGE.

UEBERROTH: ABSOLUTELY.

SHANDOBIL: PILLAR, A QUESTION FOR THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.

MORRENO: CRUZ BUSTAMANTE, BY NOW YOUR SLOGAN IS CLEAR, NO ON THE RECALL, YES ON CRUZ BUSTAMANTE BUT YOU HAVE DIFFERENT IDEAS THAT GOVERNOR GRAY DAVIS. NAME SPECIFIC ITEMS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE HANDLED DIFFERENTLY AS GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA THAN GRAY DAVIS DID.

BUSTAMANTE: THERE WAS A MOMENT IN THE ENERGY CRISIS, I BELIEVE, THAT WAS A PIVOTAL MOMENT. THE ENERGY COMPANIES WERE ACTING LIKE TERRORISTS. THEY WERE HOLDING US UP. AND THEY WERE BLACKMAILING US. AND THEY BASICALLY SAID THAT IF YOU DO NOT PAY US THIS MONEY, IF YOU DO NOT INCREASE OUR CONTRACTS, THEN WE'RE GOING TO TURN OFF THE LIGHTS. I THINK I WOULD HAVE CALLED THEIR BLUFF.

MORRENO: BUT YOU ARE THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR. WHY DIDN'T YOU SPEAK UP?

BUSTAMANTE: I DID. IN FACT, I SUED THE ENERGY COMPANIES. I WAS THE FIRST PERSON IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA ON A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. I SUED THE ENERGY COMPANIES. FIVE OF THEM, AS A MATTER OF FACT. AND AS A RESULT OF THE LAWSUIT, I'M PART OF A GROUP WHO GOT 1.8 BILLION DOLLARS BACK TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. AND WE'RE EXPECTING MORE SETTLEMENTS IN THE VERY NEW FUTURE.

SHANDOBIL: ANYTHING ELSE THAT YOU DISAGREE WITH THE GOVERNOR ON. HERE IS YOUR CHANCE. YOU'VE SAT QUIET ALL OF THESE YEARS.

BUSTAMANTE: MY COMPOSITION IS THESE FOLKS ON STAGE. THERE IS TWO PARTS TO THE RECALL QUESTION. THE GOVERNOR WILL MAKE HIS DECISION, MAKE THE KINDS OF STATEMENTS TO THE VOTERS, AND HE IS GOING TO HAVE TO TALK TO THEM DIRECTLY. THE SECOND PART OF THAT IS GOING TO BE ABOUT WHO SUCCEEDS HIM IN THE EVENT THAT THAT RECALL IS SUCCESSFUL. MY OPTION HERE IS TO DISTINGUISH MYSELF WITH MY IDEAS AGAINST THOSE FOLKS WHO ARE HERE, AND THE GUY WHO IS NOT.

SHANDOBIL: OKAY. WE'LL NOW GIVE THE FOLKS WHO ARE HERE A CHANCE TO DISTINGUISH THEMSELVES FROM YOU. FOR THE FIRST REBUTTAL, WE GO TO PETER CAMEJO.

CAMEJO: THE GOVERNOR APPOINT THE PEOPLE TO COMMISSIONS BASED ON WHO GAVE HIM MONEY. HE SELLS LEGISLATION. HE TOLD THE HEAD OF THE TEACHER'S UNION WHEN THEY ASKED FOR EDUCATION, GAVE ME $1 MILLION. WHILE ALL OF IT HAS HAPPENED, ALL OF CALIFORNIA WATCHED. ALL OF THE LEADERS OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY REMAINED SILENT. AND MANY WERE SOUND ASLEEP. AND SO WAS THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. THERE IS SOMETHING REALLY DEEPLY WRONG THAT GRAY DAVIS EPITOMIZES WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE SYSTEM, WHERE DECISIONS ARE BASED ON MONEY. THE ENERGY DISASTER, HE GAVE THE PEOPLE COMING TO ROB US $43 BILLION.

SHANDOBIL: SIR, YOUR TIME IS UP. NOW TO MR. PETER UEBERROTH FOR REBUTTAL.

UEBEROTHY: BASICALLY, I'M NOT GOING TO CRITICIZE AND I'M STICKING TO IT. I WILL NOT CRITICIZE PEOPLE ON THE PANEL OR THE GOVERNOR. IT WILL NOT BE MY GAME. THE RECALL IS GOING TO PASS. AND BECAUSE THE CITIZENS ARE GOING TO MAKE IT PASS, BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEMS ARE. AND SO NO CRITICISM OF THE GOVERNOR. THE SYSTEM, IN SACRAMENTO A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN UP THERE FOR 30, 40, 50 YEARS. WORKING. THE COMBINED SERVICE ON THIS PANEL. IT IS NOT WORKING. IT IS TIME TO FIX SACRAMENTO, TIGHTEN THE BUDGET AND GET NEW JOBS.

SHANDOBIL: THANK YOU, SIR. STATE SENATOR MCCLINTOCK, AGAIN IF YOU COULD REBUT THE QUESTION ASKED OF THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.

MCCLINTOCK: I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA HAVING VOTED TO RECALL THIS GOVERNOR FOR POLICIES BANKRUPTING OUR STATE, DECIMATED OUR PUBLIC WORKS AND DEVASTATED OUR ECONOMY WILL THEN TURN AROUND AND ELECT ANOTHER CANDIDATE TO CARRY ON PRECISELY THOSE SAME POLICIES. THE REASON WE'RE ALL HERE IS BECAUSE OF POLICIES THAT THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS FOLLOWED, INCLUDING BUDGETS TAKES US FROM A $12 BILLION SURPLUS TO A $38 BILLION DEFICIT AND I HAVE TO POINT OUT THAT CRUZ BUSTAMANTE WAS SILENT ON THE BUDGET WHILE I LED OPPOSITION TO THEM IN THE LEGISLATURE.

SHANDOBIL: ARIANNA HUFFINGTON.

HUFFINGTON: CRUZ, I WONDER SOMETIME WHETHER YOU STAY AWAKE AT NIGHT WORRYING THAT YOU COULD SPOIL THE ONLY CHANCE THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA HAVE TO ELECT A TRULY INDEPENDENT PROGRESSIVE GOVERNOR: MYSELF? YOU KNOW --

BUSTAMANTE: NO, I DON'T.

HUFFINGTON: CRUZ, PLEASE. CRUZ, DON'T BE --

BUSTAMANTE: AT LEAST NOT YOURS.

HUFFINGTON: I REPEAT --

UEBERROTH: IS THAT AN ENDORSEMENT?

HUFFINGTON: DO NOT BE THE ASSASSINATOR OF 2003. THIS IS OUR CHANCE TO HAVE AN INDEPENDENTLY ELECTED GOVERNOR.

SHANDOBIL: OKAY. THANK YOU. WE'LL MOVE BACK TO THE TYPES OF QUESTIONS THAT HOPEFULLY WILL GET SHORT ANSWERS, WE'LL TRY GOING A COUPLE MORE ROUNDS OF THAT. SO, AGAIN, IF YOU COULD LIMIT YOUR ANSWERS TO ABOUT 15 SECONDS, YOU WILL ALL GET THE SAME QUESTION. AND THE FIRST QUESTION IS FROM DAN.

BORENSTEIN: THE STATE LEGISLATURE IS CURRENTLY CONSIDERING A BILL ALLOWING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TO OBTAIN DRIVERS LICENSES, WE DISCUSSED THIS BRIEFLY EARLIER WITH THE CITIZEN'S GROUP, I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR THE COMMENTS FROM ALL OF YOU. HE BILL PASSED THE ASSEMBLY YESTERDAY. THE GOVERNOR SAID THAT HE WOULD SIGN IT. DO YOU SUPPORT THE PROPOSAL?

SHANDOBIL: THE FIRST CHANCE TO ANSWER THAT GOES TO PETER UEBERROTH.

UEBERROTH: WELL, THE BILL, I UNDERSTAND, THE LAW ENFORCEMENT PART HAS BEEN SOFTENED A GREAT DEAL. I SUPPORT LAW ENFORCEMENT. I WOULD SIGN THE BILL, BECAUSE I HAVE TO TAKE A DRIVERS TEST. THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE IN THIS COMMUNITY. THEY ARE DOING SOME VERY GOOD THINGS, I AGREE WITH CRUZ ON THAT. SO I WOULD SIGN THE BILL. AND I WOULD BE IN FAVOR OF IT.

SHANDOBIL: ARIANNA HUFFINGTON.

HUFFINGTON: I WOULD HAVE SIGNED THE BILL THE FIRST TIME IN WHEN THE GOVERNOR VETOED IT BECAUSE HIS BACK WAS NOT AGAINST THE WALL.

SHANDOBIL: TOM MCCLINTOCK.

MCCLINTOCK: I LED THE OPPOSITION TO THAT MEASURE ON THE SENATOR FLOOR THIS MORNING. I THINK IT IS A DANGEROUS MEASURE. THE ONLY PURPOSE OF IT IS TO PLACE VALID STATE IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENTS IN THE HANDS OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS UNDERMINING ENFORCEMENT OF IMMIGRATION LAWS.

SHANDOBIL: PETER.

CAMEJO: THE EUROPEANS CAME OVER HERE ILLEGALLY, THEY ARE 45% OF OUR POPULATION, I SAY WE LET THEM STAY AND GIVE THEM A DRIVERS LICENSE. THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN HERE 20,000 YEARS ON THIS CONTINENT, DESPERATELY NEEDED, NO ONE IS FOR THEM LEAVING, HOW CAN WE NOT GIVE THEM A DRIVERS LICENSE.

SHANDOBIL: THANK YOU. LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.

BUSTAMANTE: I WOULD SIGN THE BILL. I WOULD SUPPORT THE EFFORTS. IN THE END, PEOPLE RECOGNIZE THAT MAKING SURE THAT PEOPLE WHO HOW TO DRIVE AND THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE LIVES WILL BE A PUBLIC SAFETY BENEFIT TO EVERYONE IN CALIFORNIA.

SHANDOBIL: OKAY. WE'LL NOW TRY SOMETHING ELSE. OVER THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS, HUNDREDS OF CALIFORNIANS HAVE E-MAILED US SUGGESTED QUESTIONS THEY WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE CANDIDATES. WE INVITED FIVE OF THOSE VOTERS TO BE HERE WITH US TODAY, AND THE FIRST QUESTION FROM THE E-MAILS AND THE PERSON IN THE AUDIENCE COMES FROM MR. LANG OF ALAMEDA, YOUR QUESTION IS FOR MR. CAMEJO. YOU WILL HAVE ONE MINUTE TO ANSWER. NO REBUTTAL TIME ON THESE ANSWERS, JUST AN ANSWER AND THAT IS IT.

AUDIENCE MEMBER: CALIFORNIA ELECTRICITY INDUSTRY IS AT A CROSS-ROAD OF DEREGULATION VERSUS REREGULATION. WHAT WILL YOU DO TO FIX THE BROKEN SYSTEM AND THE HIGH ELECTRICITY RATES?

CAMEJO: (UNINTELLIGIBLE) GREEN PARTY IS THE ONLY PARTY IN CALIFORNIA THAT ARE OPPOSED TO THE DEREGULATION OF ENERGY. THE DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS VOTED UNANIMOUSLY, PROMISING TO LOWER INSTEAD IT INCREASED AS WE PREDICTED WOULD HAPPEN. I BELIEVE THAT WE ARE IN A COMPLETE CRISIS ON THE ISSUE OF ENERGY. WORLDWIDE. I WANT TO SEE CALIFORNIA BECOME THE LEADER FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY, THE ONLY REAL SOLUTION. WE ARE SETTING OURSELVES UP FOR FUTURE CRISIS BY DEFENDING ON NATURAL GAS WHOSE PRICES WILL GO THROUGH THE SEALING AS WE RUN OUT OF IT. WE HAVE TO IMPORT IT. NO EFFORT IS BEING MADE TO SOLVE THIS. WE HAVE TO REGULATE THE INDUSTRY. THE QUESTION IS HOW TO DO IT TO DO IT RIGHT? THE WAY THAT WE HAVE BEEN DEREGULATING IS SIMPLY LEADING TO CORPORATIONS MANAGEMENT TAKING THE MONEY AND GOING INTO CRISIS AND YOU ALWAYS END UP PAYING FOR IT, AS TAXPAYERS AND CONSUMERS. WE NEED TO CHANGE IT AND HAVE A VISION.

SHANDOBIL: OKAY. OUR NEXT QUESTION IS FROM DANA, MARIN COUNTY. YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR MR. UEBERROTH.

AUDIENCE MEMBER: YES, I DO. I'M A POET AND EDUCATOR HERE IN THE BAY AREA, RECENT BUDGET CUTS HAVE ALL BUT ELIMINATED THE CALIFORNIA ARTS COUNCIL, ARTS AND CORRECTIONS, CALIFORNIA POETS IN THE SCHOOLS AND COUNTLESS ART ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE STATE. WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS TO REMAINTAIN AND PROMOTE THE INNOVATIVE ARTS PROGRAMMING CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN FAMOUS FOR? WHAT IS YOUR POSITION ON PUBLIC FUNDING OF THE ARTS IN CALIFORNIA AT A LEVEL EQUAL TO THE NATIONAL AVERAGE OF $1.10 PER CAPITA?

UEBERROTH: FRANKLY, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH MONEY TO GO AROUND IN CALIFORNIA. AND I WISH THAT I COULD WAVE A MAGIC WAND AND TELL EVERYONE THERE IS GOING TO BE PLENTY OF MONEY. THIS GOVERNMENT IN SACRAMENTO HAS SPENT ENORMOUS AMOUNTS. AND YOU HAVE NOT GOTTEN YOUR FAIR SHARE. THE TRUTH IS NOW THERE IS NO MORE ENORMOUS AMOUNT TO SPEND. WE HAVE TO GET THE ELECTED OFFICIALS, THE FIRST DAY I'M ELECTED GOVERNOR IN A ROOM, LOCK THE ROOM AND SAY TO THEM BALANCE THIS BUDGET, FAMILIES KNOW THEY HAVE TO TIGHTEN BELTS, COMPANIES KNOW THEY HAVE TO TIGHTEN THE BELTS, THE STATE HAS TO TIGHTEN THE BELT TO GET REAL. WE HAVE TO GET REAL. AND THEN WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO GET MONEY INTO THE SYSTEM. THE WAY YOU DO THAT IS TO HAVE MORE JOBS. AND PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR JOBS ACROSS THIS STATE, LOSING THE GOOD JOBS. AND IT TRICKLES RIGHT ON DOWN ALL THE WAY SO THAT EVERY JOB, IF WE BRING IN NEW JOBS AND TURN THE STATE AROUND, WHERE WE HAVE A SIGN SAYING WEE WELCOME EMPLOYERS HERE, THEN WE WILL START TO MOVE UP THE ECONOMY THROUGH THE STATE AND THEN WE CAN GET TO EVERYTHING WE WANT TO GET TO, ARTS AND ALL OF THE REST.

SHANDOBIL: OKAY. THE NEXT QUESTION IS A PERSON FROM OCEAN SIDE CALIFORNIA, LEON, AND MR. PAGE, YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.

AUDIENCE MEMBER: YES, I DO. MR. BUSTAMANTE, THIS IS A QUESTION ABOUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. I BELIEVE YOU SUPPORT THE PROPOSAL TO ALLOW UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS TO RECEIVE DRIVERS LICENSES.

BUSTAMANTE: THAT'S CORRECT.

AUDIENCE MEMBER: IS THERE ANY GOVERNMENT PROGRAM OR SERVICE THAT YOU BELIEVE UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS SHOULD NOT RECEIVE?

BUSTAMANTE: WELL, FIRST OF ALL, LET ME ADDRESS THE DRIVERS LICENSE, DRIVERS LICENSE FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE WORKING. BY DEFINITION, A FARMWORKER WORKS. BY DEFINITION A HOTEL WORKER IS WORKING. WHAT WE ARE DOING IS THAT WE HAVE 70% OF ALL OF THE FOLKS WHO ARE IN AGRICULTURE COME FROM ACROSS THE BORDER. 30% OF CONSTRUCTION COMES FROM THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE COMING ACROSS THE BORDER. WE HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE TODAY WHO ARE WORKING, AND TAKING CARE OF THEIR FAMILIES AND PROVIDING US THE BENEFIT OF THE LABOR. LABOR THAT YOU AND I DO NOT DO, IN FACT, WOULD NOT DO. I KNOW BECAUSE I CAME FROM THOSE AREAS AND THOSE FIELDS IN THE CENTRAL VALLEY. I'VE PICKED CON TO THE AND I'VE PICKED PEACHES AND DONE THE KIND OF HARD LABOR THAT HAS BEEN OUT THERE IN THOSE FIELDS. YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M GLAD THAT I'M OUT. THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE DOING IT. I RESPECT THEM FOR THE WORK THAT THEY DO. IF IT TAKES A DRIVERS LICENSE FOR THEM TO GET TO WORK, TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR FAMILIES, GET THEIR KIDS TO SCHOOL AND TAKE CARE OF THE SENIORS, LET THEM GO TO SOME KIND OF A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT, I'M FOR GIVING THEM A DRIVERS LICENSE.

SHANDOBIL: I DO NOT THINK THAT YOU DIRECTLY ANSWERED THE QUESTION, WHICH WAS ARE THERE ANY SERVICES THAT YOU WOULD DENY?

BUSTAMANTE: I WOULD SAY THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF SERVICES THAT ARE GIVEN TO CITIZENS THAT CLEARLY ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THOSE WHO ARE HERE ILLEGALLY. BUT FOR THE BASIC NEEDS, FOR SOMEONE WHO GETS INJURED, I MEAN IN AGRICULTURE IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS JOB, IN CONSTRUCTION IT IS DANGEROUS, IF SOMEONE IS WORKING AND THEY ARE PROVIDING US THE OPPORTUNITY, THE FRUITS OF THEIR LABOR, AND THEY GET HURT, I THINK THEY SHOULD BE RECEIVING EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE. I THINK THEY SHOULD BE ELIGIBLE TO HAVE THEIR CHILDREN GO AND GET A GOOD EDUCATION. THEY ARE HEAR, PAYING TAXES. EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE SEEN THEY PAY $1400 MORE A YEAR THAN THEY GET BACK ON ASSISTANCE.

SHANDOBIL: THANK YOU, LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR. THE NEXT QUESTION FOR ARIANNA HUFFINGTON, FROM A BERKELEY RESIDENT.

DO YOU SUPPORT HIGHER PAY FOR TEACHERS? IF SO, IN WHAT FORM? WOULD IT BE FOR THE TEACHERS IN LOW PERFORMING SCHOOLS, MATH, SCIENCE TEACHERS, MERIT PAY, WHAT?

HUFFINGTON: I SUPPORT HIGHER PAY FOR TEACHERS, RATHER THAN PRISON GUARDS, WHICH IS WHAT WE HAVE AT THE MOMENT. AND I SUPPORT A GREATER AUTONOMY AMONG SCHOOL DISTRICTS. I'M A PASSIONATE BELIEVER IN CHARTER PUBLIC SCHOOLS. AS GOVERNOR, I WILL EQUALIZE FUNDING FOR PUPIL FUNDING FOR CHARTER SCHOOL AND MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR EACH CHARTER SCHOOL TO GIVE MARRIED PAY AND TO ACTUALLY ENCOURAGE THE BEST TEACHING, THE BEST CREATIVE TEACHING. I'M OPPOSED ALSO TO THE SO-CALLED LEAVE NO CHILD BEHIND ACT THAT THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION HAS PUT FORWARD. WHICH IS ANOTHER UNFUNDED MANDATE FOR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, WHICH IS PUTTING THE EMPHASIS ON TESTING, TESTING, INSTEAD OF TEACHING. YES, ABSOLUTELY. I THINK THAT INSTEAD OF FIRING TEACHERS, AS THIS GOVERNOR DID, IN ORDER TO HAVE MORE MONEY TO REWARD HIS PRISON GUARD CONTRIBUTORS, I WILL PUT TEACHERS FIRST. I WILL PUT BOOKS, NOT BARS AS MY HIGHEST PRIORITY IF I'M ELECTED GOVERNOR.

SHANDOBIL: OKAY. WE NOW GO TO BILL FROM SACRAMENTO. AND YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR STATE SENATOR MCCLINTOCK.

AUDIENCE MEMBER: SENATOR TOM MCCLINTOCK, AS YOU KNOW, THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE POPULATION OF CALIFORNIA LIVES NEAR THE COAST. PEOPLE COME FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD SEE OUR COAST. AS GOVERNOR, WOULD YOU WORK TO STRENGTHEN THE CALIFORNIA COASTAL COMMISSION, THE REGULATORY AGENCY, OR WOULD YOU WORK TO ABOLISH IT?

MCCLINTOCK: I WOULD WORK TO RESTORE THAT DECISION-MAKING TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES ALONG THE COAST. I'VE ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT LOCAL COMMUNITIES WILL BE FAR MORE JEALOUS GUARDIANS OF THEIR COASTLINE THAN SOME STATEWIDE COMMISSION FILLED WITH POLITICAL APPOINTEES. IF YOU WILL RECALL, ONE OF THE GREAT SCANDALS OF THE LAST DECADE INVOLVED THE COASTAL COMMISSION. AND INFLUENCED PEDALLING THAT WAS GOING ON IN THE NATHANSON SCANDAL. I WOULD LIKE TO RESTORE THE PROTECTION OF THE COASTLINES TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES RATHER THAN FROM A BUREAUCRATIC ORGAN OF STATE GOVERNMENT FILLED WITH POLITICAL APPOINTMENTS.

SHANDOBIL: OKAY. THANK YOU. WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE AUDIENCE MEMBERS COMING UP WITH THE QUESTIONS. WE WOULD ALSO LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT TO THANK ALL OF THE OTHER VOTERS WHO SENT IN QUESTIONS. WE WISH WE HAD TIME TO INVITE EVERYONE ASKING A QUESTION TO ASK IT, IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER, WE'VE BORROWED IDEAS FOR THE PANEL, WE'LL RESUME WITH PANEL QUESTIONS RIGHT NOW. AGAIN, THESE WILL BE FOR ONE-MINUTE ANSWERS, 30 SECOND REBUTTALS FROM THE CANDIDATES
