I am so impressed by this, it makes me want to move to Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

Candidates for the Wisconsin State Assembly (54th District) have apparently agreed to participate in an online candidate forum--a candidate blog with a (not yet available) parallel constituent forum/blog. The candidate forum is

...sponsored by the Oshkosh Community News Network, the Oshkosh League of Women Voters and the Oshkosh Public Library and will be accessible from the OCNN Web site, Oshkosh News, and from the library’s Web site.

The four participants in the forum are independent Dan Carpenter, Democrat Gordon Hintz, Wisconsin Green Tony Palmeri and Republican incumbent Gregg Underheim.

While Hintz, Palmeri and Underheim might be disappointed to realize the the links behind their "Learn More About the Candidates" options all point to Dan Carpenter's bio (which I'm sure will be addressed shortly), I cannot help but this that this is a fantastic idea. And it is sponsored in part by the local library! Talk about helping your customers get information...

How did I find this random site, you might ask? That (previously-considered to be annoying) header bar on all Blogger sites with the "Next Blog" button. Three clicks from Tequila Mockingbird.

The internet is amazing.
