I am really looking forward to this! Thank you for granting us 90 seconds (an extra 30 seconds) to answer the questions!

I don’t know what meaningful information could be conveyed in 90 seconds, much less 60. How does speed debating benefit undecided voters?

Todd, good question!
I have alot to say about this but will save it for another day…
Mmmm…”Speed Debating,” think I’ll make that the title of my essay.

At the Chamber of Commerce candidates’ forum, candidates had two minutes per answer, and it was very loosely enforced…. usually nothing was said until they had rambled on for three minutes or more.
At OVN and at Rotary Club forums, answers were limited to one minute, and it was strictly enforced!
At none of the three forums has there been any meaningful interaction among candidates… it is almost entirely just each individual answering the same question put to all the candidates.
Is there a better way to structure it, given five candidates, several questions, and limited time?
