Candidate Interviews

Because we have been overwhelmed with commitments from multiple candidates, Salisbury News is yet again sitting down at 300 W. Main Street this week doing additional candidate interviews.

It would seem that we'll be providing at least one candidate interview per day up until election day. This has been an incredible opportunity for me as I have learned more from these interviews than anything else I have ever done in politics.

Hopefully all of you take the time to view these interviews as they are much longer and go into greater detail than the primary interviews. One thing is for sure, no one can say they weren't educated.

Cowell, Mitchell, Calpino and Ollinger are pretty much the only ones who said they refuse to do an interview. Look at those names again Folks. If you've been following our interviews, we have never once stepped out of line. We have been perfectly respectful to each and every candidate, yet these people seem to be too afraid to sit down with us and express their platforms.

In the mean time, know these interviews take up quite a bit of our time both in the actual shooting as well as the production and loading it onto the Internet. Please take the time to watch these candidates and let me assure you of one thing, these interviews are far better than the primary interviews. Just try one and you'll see what I mean.

  2. Joe,
    Mike McDermott's interview was very informative, both about his stance on issues and on the state of Maryland's business climate. It might be nice to bump that back up on the page. It got buried way to quick!
