For the record, I found Jim McConaughy extremely like-able too, and unfortunately missed the John Morris interview. Although it is my understanding that they all feel similarly on the above referenced issues, all issues important to me, my clients and my family.

The voter today should support a candidate that not only mirrors their feelings on an issue, but also conveys a sense that they are the one that can finally affect change in Washington DC. Honestly, it seems that the politicians today are talking about the SAME THINGS we were talking about 16 years ago when Bill Clinton was elected.

Lets quit the caterwauling and get back to some mature dialogue on how each candidate will make things happen in Washington DC!

Diane…I agree that we need to focus on the issues. I just hope that we all take the time to decide based upon the policy views and plans of the candidates. I understand why you found Schock likeable, but I think based upon the issues you present (and others), he isn’t the guy for you.

And Matt, Merry Christmas. You have always been one of teh voices of reason in a party leadership which seems disjointed at times.

Thanks, Matt, for adding a voice of reason to this thread. I was having a hard time understanding the hostility.

Personally, I don’t care about push-polls (whatever they are), name recognition, or silly mis-steps (and they all make them!) I care about how our family health care costs will be contained, and how we intend to properly fund our schools. And what can we do about skyrocketing property tax bills.

Candidates- put your visions and your plans out there, and may the best man win!

Matt,

One lawyer/lobbysit sticking up for another lawyer/lobbyist is not the best defense. But you are right, it was over the top. But I am most definitely not a hog farmer and I am not from Farmington.

Darn it. I was really thinking we rated, as we got one from the Darrin Lahood family and the Ray Lahood family as well. Thanks for busting my bubble lol!

CJ, you know you already have my vote. What are you running for by the way?
