Spot of tea?

Five of the candidates for governor participated in a forum yesterday afternoon in Princeton, MN. The forum was sponsored by the Mille Lacs Tea Party.

Roughly 100 people attended a forum hosted by the Mille Lacs Tea Party. It featured Constitution Party member Harley Swarm and Republicans Phil Herwig, Marty Seifert, Bill Haas and Tom Emmer (officials expected Republican David Hann to attend but he wasn't there). The debate centered around spending, constitutional issues, social issues and electability.

I recorded the first part of the debate but had to leave after the break so I missed the thirty minute lightening round.

Here's the forum:

Thanks to Sue Bican, Mike Puffer and the other members of the Mille Lacs Tea Party for letting me record the event.
