Advice

Your candidate is human, fallible, imperfect. Whoever this person happens to be, don't get so emotionally invested that you find yourselve unable to appreciate the good in other candidates. We want to win in November, and if we rally around whoever wins, it will happen. However, don't let your liking of a candidate cloud your judgement or weaken your sense of decency to the point of seeing those who oppose your choice as the enemy. You can support your candidate while respecting the choice of others.

I've dropped one Presidential candidate already. I'll drop Pete if he doesn't show an ability to win.

Good to turn off the Corporate,hysterical media, one subject all day long.

I have found great mysteries on Ovation, and my path to the Library is getting deep.

Too cold to get out.
