There should be three candidates on this stage tonight. Richie Torres is not showing up for debates or forums in large part because he doesn't want you to hear the truth to this question that was just asked about the war. Richard Torres is lying to you when he sends out mailers and saying that he opposes the war. (13:45–13:55)
