1. How is his campaign going in American Samoa
Does he feel that the Clinton campaign high interest there will result in them sending surrogates there and further resulting in him getting all of the American Samoan delegates?

3. If you're serious, I hope that you treat him with dignity.
And I am not joking about that.

If you are doing this to futher make him a butt of jokes, then what you're doing is despicable.

15. Amen! Underneath it all, I think you'll find just an ordinary guy...
...unqualified for the presidency, and perhaps not the best writer at the world, but ordinary nonetheless.

And I think he'll be shocked and astounded at his popularity here! Don't scare the man!

4. ZOMG
This is exciting news for us Mercernaries. :woohoo:

I need to compose myself before coming up with questions, but off the cuff, I'm dying to know about Jeb Bush and his disease.

Thank you for evading the media blackout on Lee Mercer. :patriot:

6. What are his plans for the hotwire?
What will he do about the Bush family death order?

Why is Jeb Bush all in his house with disease?

And...Does he know that he has a following here at DU? :D

14. I don't intend to, honestly.
I wanna see where he's coming from with the stuff on his site. If he's joking or what.

21. Not entirely sure yet.
I left it up to him, phone or email, and when he emailed me back indicating he would do it, I asked which he'd prefer.

25. I have a question
Who is Lee Mercer? If it's the posting ID that has "Lee Mercer Jr. For President", I wouldn't have guessed he was running for Prez.

26. I found an earlier interview online and posted it somewhere here...
maybe you could dig it out of the archives. It was a phone interview with him that someone posted as a video (you could see the interviewers, not Mercer).

Might be worth listening to before you interview him yourself to get a sense of how he responds to different types of questions?

I'd say open-ended concrete policy questions, e.g., what's his take on the health care and insurance situation?

campaign finance reform?

has he run for office before?

have fun!

Interesting stuff. I'm kinda nervous about this, but it should be a lot of fun.

Not sure how he would take the DU Mercerization phenomenon?
