Completely setting aside that not showing up would have been a definite lose for him. Anyway, again it's good to hear what's happening around the country. Our rep has always done phony tele-halls with scripted Q and A--and this in an overwhelmingly conservative district. I ascribe it to contempt for the concept of being accountable to the electorate, though, not timidity.
