Let’s hope the local GP manages to pack the room with as many folks as can be legally held in the room. Even if it means inviting the schools AP Government class.
This is a photo op, the next days paper should not show two candidates talking endlessly to an empty room. Even the late evening TV news should show an excited room packed with voters.
One recommendation, I would not have the candidates talk for 20-25 minutes in their introduction. It may cause a bit of fidgeting and minds wandering away. I would structure the introductory speeches to no more than 5 minutes.
But then, maybe Green candidates are more spell binding than other candidates.
Wish I could be there.
PEACE
