I am not the most qualified to speak on these people. The only ones that I have met are Knute and Sam. Knute is a very impressive person with the personality to be able to chart his way around the skoals. I am not in favor of a lot of his ideas on health care, as he gives the impression that an expansion is fine while vilifying how it is currently ran. I am afraid that he would make being pro health care his entire agenda. Just an opinion. Sam does not have the personality or charisma to charm the masses, so I doubt he will ever get much traction. With that said, I like his platform best of all those you have listed. If these guys are my only choices, I would still give Sam the nod.
That's probably two more than most of us have met, so you might be the most qualified (here). If anyone else does feel qualified, though, would be interested to hear their take too. barfo
All I'm going to say about the current crop of Republican gubernatorial candidates--aside from the fact that they're mostly anonymous--is that the likelihood of a Republican winning a governor or senate election in this state in the next decade is virtually nil, so there's almost no point in even learning about these guys, let alone evaluating them.
I would have said that about Secretary of State too, but a republican won that last time. Ya never know. barfo
Based on my cursory review of the four sites listed, Beuhler has the most experience and is the most "moderate", Carpenter is probably the most traditional conservative, Cuff would probably be the religious right's preference, and Smith would probably be my personal favorite.
But nobody really pays any attention to the secretary of state. If there were an election for just the secretary of state and nobody else, it'd probably get 25-30% turnout. Senator and Governor are the only real significant statewide offices, and Democrats have them locked up tight for the forseeable future.
How much stuff you got in your ass, anyway? At the rate you are pulling it out, I'm concerned you might injure yourself. barfo
I have indeed seen a lot on this message board, and I think he's approaching the limit. Some will take a single thread, like 'Natural Born', and pull it out slowly and carefully over a long period of time like a giant tapeworm, but he's doing multiple objects every day. barfo
He is going to be fun to watch no matter what happens. Sure, he lacks pizazz. But he is proving he is willing to step up and confront shit no one else will.
Your second post in 5 years! I remember your last post, back when I was a tiny boy. You're as slow as a turtle, but I knew you'd find your way back.
