11th District Candidates Forum

This past Sunday all four Democratic candidates in the 11th District race had their first head to head to head to head showdown in the form of a Forum sponsored by The Democratic Women of Clifton.  For those of you who would like to learn more about these four candidates this forum will go a long way toward answering your questions.

I considered adding my opinions and analysis, but ultimately I think it's better to let the candidates speak for themselves.  

Two Notes:
1. The sound didn't come out as nicely as I wanted - especially with the very noisy ventilation system firing up every few minutes.  So I cranked up the volume because it's better to have too much than too little.  So please pardon the less than stellar sound quality.

2. YouTube rejected three segments because they were too long.  I'll get those three up as soon as  I can get to it.

Without further ado, YouTube videos start on the flip...

Great Work Eric! (Tyler Durden - 4/29/2008 2:18:19 PM)
I had the same problem with the video I took- but yours came out much better!

I edited a clip of Gerry, Doug and Leslie answering the question about Iraq which is posted to Doug's You Tube channel- As are Doug's responses to the questions.  (You Tube is strict on the 10 minute limit- but you can get around the 100MB restriction by downloading their video up-loading software.)

I wasn't asked to do the sound system this year so I went to the TV station (Used2Bneutral - 4/30/2008 6:02:58 PM)
But the problem with YouTube is the reason I use it's big brother Google Video..... there are no real limits for practical purposes.... I put well over 90 minute clips up there using higher than normal resolution for the better quality we get with the Inside Scoop shows.....

I will be doing the actual debates and will have sound systems for all of those.....

But good job Eric, as always you came through.....



Good point (Eric - 4/30/2008 8:10:55 PM)
I'll have to try Google next time.


Don't sell yourself short Tyler (Eric - 4/30/2008 8:12:23 PM)
Looks like your video came out nice as well.

And thanks for putting up one of my rejected clips!
