You could ask him about his support for instant runoff voting vis-a-vis it's failure to elect his supported candidate, Andy Montroll, despite Montroll being preferred 54% to 46% over the eventual winner, Bob Kiss. Ask him if he'd consider supporting other voting method reforms, such as score voting (scorevoting.net).
The Republicans are going to try to say that if the Democrats have not fixed everything and created utopia by 2010, they should be put back in power. If he doesn't cover it in his talk, ask him how he will counter that 'argument'.
