Chandra On Offense
(Cross posted from the Ohio 2nd Blog)
Last Saturday Democratic candidate for Ohio Attorney General Subodh Chandra sat down with the your humble Ohio 2nd Blog editor, members of Drinking Liberally Cincinnati (they've posted a good overview of the event as noted on the front page), and Warren County Democrats at the Democratic Party HQ in Loveland.
Here's selected audio from the blogger interview and the stump speech he gave afterwards for a meet and greet event hosted in his honor. I have cut it up like this because the people at drinking liberally asked me to remove the audio of them asking questions. One thing great about Meet the Bloggers is that they've already dealt with all of those issues that go with providing an open method for interviewing candidates.
This interview has some pretty hard hitting stuff including candid discussion of the behind the scenes endorsement process within the ODP.
