Bill O'Neill (OH-14) has a great set of questions, as well as the video above.

Don Wiviott (NM-03) asked his supporters for questions to put to Petraeus.

Here's Eric Massa (NY-29):

"General depending accounting used, this war will cost us from $2 - 3.5 trillion. Help me explain to my constituents why it is more important to rebuild Iraq and not rebuild America."

Tim Cunha (FL-06) sent a letter to Democratic House leaders.

When General David Petraeus and U. S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker meet with Congress Tuesday and Wednesday, Tim Cunha, Democratic 6th district congressional candidate, wants them asked: "Is the continued American involvement in the Iraq civil war making America safer?"

Alice Kryzan (NY-26) in a heavily contested primary has a video.

More soon.

Where is Kilroy OH? (0.00 / 0)

Interesting that O'Neil in OH has signed onto the Responsible Plan and has Petraeus questions, and yet Kilroy, a red to blue seat in Ohio, has not done either. Again I don't necessarily fault her for this, she is a good candidate, but the silence worries me given that we've already seen a silent congress in action.

I have called and left messages asking her campaign to get on board with this.

Robert Wexler has asked his e-mail community to send him questions and he will ask the two best. That's pretty cool, IMO.

Isn't Alice Kryzan NY-26? (4.00 / 1)

That's the Reynolds seat. NY-25 is the one Walsh is vacating, and Dan maffei is the challenger there. Jon Powers is also in NY-26.

John McCain--He's not who you think he is.
