I think there are independent voters, and I think I am one. Why can't my mind be changed, or more accurately, persuaded to vote one way or the other? The thing is, I need more than us just an explanation of a plan. I need to know how it will be financed, how it will be carried out, who will be accountable for it, etc. I also need to believe the plan is realistic, achievable, and beneficial. Now during an election campaign, I know i'm never going to get this level of specific detail. Candidates deal in broad philosophies and generalities. That makes my work as an indpendent that much more difficult. Wading through the BS and trying to discover on my own which candidate will actually perform his or her job better is a royal PIA. I think my voting bracket decides elections. There is no reason why you have to attribute my vote to "luck". Persuade me with realistic plans and sound ideas. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:209056 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
