But you're right, you can't tell that much from a candidate's web site. She's a member of a private group to which I belong and I'm really very impressed with her. Actually, I don't see anyone wanting to involve themselves in this dog and pony show at this point.Leslie Parsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743778482517634823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125940219291633674.post-62515130313346091552012-08-06T14:22:49.442-05:002012-08-06T14:22:49.442-05:00Ms. Overall looks good, to the extent you can go b...Ms. Overall looks good, to the extent you can go by a limited Web site. Certainly better than Clayton. What a shame the state Dem leaders didn't urge Dems and others to write her name in on election day, instead frittering their votes away on X-number of different names, none of which will get anywhere.S.W.

As Southern Beale wrote: "Gary Davis, who wants to do away with all foreign aid and “restore rights to the state by giving people full control of their own health care,”; and then Benjamin Roberts, who wants to return us to the gold standard because “inflation is grossly out of control,” despite it being only 1.7% right now.

Instead of permanent parties that nominate candidates every election cycle, we have individual candidate campaigns that compete every cycle for the party label. The tails wag the dog. The party is entirely a vehicle for the winning candidates, and the party almost always almost completely abstains from favoring any candidate for its nomination over Glen Tomkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16615965629335985194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125940219291633674.post-55285996210133121672012-08-05T19:08:50.838-05:002012-08-05T19:08:50.838-05:00A well-justified rant, if there was one, L.P.
