I read last month that in 1968, there were still candidates declaring as late as march of that year. <BR/><BR/>While I like change, I do not like the fact that these primaries have been moved up so early. Sheesh - by the time we Pennsyltuckians vote, it will be moot!Greg Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06745007452155543635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22297646.post-26093891522012271472008-01-05T14:23:00.000-05:002008-01-05T14:23:00.000-05:00Keith,I agree with you that character is the numbe...Keith,<BR/><BR/>I agree with you that character is the number one issue in determining a presidential candidate. I'm not terribly thrilled with any of the candidates with regard to issues/policy, but I do think that many of them are decent human beings who deserve respect.<BR/><BR/>Let me also say: Even though we may come at politics from slightly different perspectives, I truly enjoy reading your stuff and have been stretched by your well-reasoned positiong! Thanks for sharpening my dull brain!<BR/><BR/>JeffJeff Kahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13016581430364691310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22297646.post-64606156286903234222008-01-04T14:04:00.000-05:002008-01-04T14:04:00.000-05:00Well said Keith.

But like Matt wrote, character can be difficult to determine, especially in a political candidate.Arthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528001127103773045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22297646.post-53122444966416498522008-01-03T14:12:00.000-05:002008-01-03T14:12:00.000-05:00These are great points Keith.

I really appreciate the way your faith commitments are holistically tied to your political stances. <BR/><BR/>It seems to me that candidates are generally too tied to party-line positions to really let their personal character and commitments shape their political positions. Until our generation gets sick of this situation and calls for a different way of doing politics, we will have to deal with things as they currently stand. <BR/><BR/>It's difficult, in the meantime, to determine who has character and who doesn't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
