>JP, In the past, I have proudly cast my vote based on the principles I have believed in since 1964. Too many times,the best candidate has gone down in flames.<

Oh, and now that you are no longer voting your principles, the best candidate is surviving? Must have been dang awful back in '64 (grin). Come now, TD. I do not think any major shift in sentiment occurred post 1964 causing a significant number of folks to neglect their principles in order to vote for the lesser of two evils. I think in changing your manner of voting you simply began to vote (more often than previously) with the majority. Your vote in the larger scheme changed nothing. You changed, and it seems the change made you feel better. I think that is about all that happened. So then I find little difference between you and I. I am making the same change you made back in '64, but in reverse. For once, I will refuse to vote for anyone not sincerely embracing my basic values. In the big scheme it will matter not a bit. But I will feel better and hopefully I will influence others for whom such things matter, to do the same. (I must nevertheless add that I think I have the philosophical edge on you because I am at least voting truthfully).

>GW might end up being the best candidate. It's too early to tell yet. At any rate,so far, he's the best I can find.<

Aw now c'mon! You underestimate me, TD. ***Vote Pilch -- the best you can find***

>Now, just you wait!! If I don't get that cabinet post, you're gonna get a discrimination suit for leavin me out cause Ahm just a plain ole country boy and you want all them smart-asses givin you advice.<

Hey wait a minute. If you want a cabinet position you gotta at least vote for me. ***Vote Pilch -- the best you can find*** I'd love to have a country boy in my cabinet.

>I done been to the White House so that don't make no never mind.<

Oh but you ain't done been to a Pilch White House. It will be unlike anything the country has seen. Oh on the outside nothing will change. And even a lot of the interior will remain the same. But I will DEFINEY be bringing in a certain indescribable something that you ought to try and see. ***Vote Pilch -- the best you can find***
