I'm not going down there and handing her any money, though.

But will I be dragged away by campaign handlers if the questions get too intense? As in, "Why are you the best Democratic party candidate for District 8?"

These fundraising democrats can be more over-aggressive for your money than a bill collector or a homelessman in Lower Queen Anne.

A candidate's money doesn't have to come directly from her district.

Don't be so crybaby-ish. You need to be able to ask candidates questions without being a scaredy cat. You don't have to give at those things, but they do take your money if you offer.

Um, no. However, broke or not, I had to deal with some issues involving my landlord and cleaning up some mildew in my bathroom that came up after work and couldn't wait, so it turned out I couldn't go anyway.

Hopefully, she'll pop back into this neck of the woods and I'll get the chance to ask those burning questions in person.
