Fun thought, but I'd ask too many questions to make them comfortable. I wouldn't mind reserving them for executive session in many cases, but I don't think they'd like what I'd ask. As for next year's ballot, I'll see if I can find the 2007 winners who will be up again. Heh. Fun thought, but I’d ask too many questions to make them comfortable.

Now, to be fair, his committee wasn't meeting. But, since it is the biggest meeting of the year, it's just a tad important.
