As Ben mentioned, this list may not be the 
place for Technopolitical chatter, but is there 
a email list that is (local to Minnesota)?

I would be interested in knowing about it 
(and perhaps joining after I exit the Samba 
list again). If none exists, would Mr. 
Tanner create one? :-)

I would really like to know the standing of 
our political candidates on technological 
issues, but I think it might be a distraction 
here.

In other words, a large group is more
likely to get their questions answered than a single person. One
person
can be safely ignored, but 2,000 is a different story.
