The great thing about anything above the local level is that most of the candidates have held some sort of office before. Any time you've got someone who's held a political office you've got a public record of what they really stand for. I generally ignore the campaign as much as possible and start by looking at that record. It's a bit of work but it's usually worth it in my opinion. Though at times (the Kansas senate seat that Brownback's vacating to run for governor, for instance) it only serves to remind me how rarely we have any good choices.

Voters are being more heavily influenced by the sping and disinformation being spread about what was done than by what was actually done. Guess that's ok if you want your leadership chosen based on lies. I prefer to make my decisions on facts, which are in short supply this election campaign. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:329056 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
