Gov. Blago for President of course I would pick Romney, (pre Blagos impeachment) even though politically I am far more agreement on the issues with Blago, Blago is far too crazy. People knew this for a few years now. Well, the same thing is true about Palin. She is too crazy.<br />As a general rule I do vote for the person; their character, intelligence, etc. over party or ideas. I have voted for Kean and Whitman for Gov. in NJ, Reagan over Mondale and Bush over Dukakis, even though I am a Democrat.<br />The US is not a Parlimentary system where we vote by party blocs, if it were then and only then does Payne make much sense, otherwise he is getting on a bit of a high horse.<br />Even in primaries, I did not support Obama over Clinton because I agreed with him on the issues 72% of the time overs Clintons 69% (this is just an example) for all I know if I did an analysis it could have been the reverse. I voted for Obama over Clinton only because I believe he would have been a better leader than Clinton, and more likely to be elected.<br /><br />charoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
