Where Is The Leadership?

There is some truth in what you say. I think the more I know about a politian I am voting for the better I can make a judgement. A big problem is the a few people will believe everything they hear about a candidate if he/she does not like the candidate. Many, will vote because she/he looks good. We have a tendancy to put famous people on a pedestle and are upset when we find them not up to our standards. Many are hard left or hard right and they are almost impossible to influence. The center is are the ones that elect and do more than like or let the fact someone smoked a joint years ago influence their vote. It is important to go out of your way to know as much as you can about both candidates in order to make a decission.
