Not to mention the fact that voting has already started, so getting people
to invest time to ask questions may be too much to ask :). I do like the
idea of giving people a chance to get to know the candidates better,
though, so I would love for this to happen (as Ewa said, next year) -- but
in that case, I feel there should be some room between the candidates being
announced and the actual election.
