Questions for the Candidates  
Public Affairs Content Produced by the Backbone Campaign Featuring Nominees to Our Progressive Cabinet  

Questions for the Candidates is the Backbone Campaign's way of both elevating the debate in 2008, and utilizing this important election season to celebrate that progressives have the leaders and ideas to run the country. We hope that community radio stations and other broadcast and web-based producers will utilize these 2-3 minute pieces as part of their public affairs programing.
