Primary Conversations 

For some of the more prominent races in the May 20th primary, Think Out Loud is bringing in candidates for what we're calling "Primary Conversations," our take on debates: less formal (no buzzers or time limits), more intimate (with everyone sitting around the same table) and, we hope, more substantive.

>> Primary Conversations: 5th Congressional District (D)

>> Primary Conversations: 5th Congressional District (R)

>> McCain and the Veteran Vote

>> Primary Conversations: U.S. Senate

>> Primary Conversations: Secretary of State

>> Primary Conversations: Portland Mayor

>> Primary Conversations: Attorney General

>> Clinton and the Generational Divide
