[Vision2020] Why I didn't vote for Brady

[keely emerinemix]

I had hoped that there were other, more sound, reasons for your not voting 
for Brady -- chief among them that you're a conservative.

The rigors of a statewide campaign, especially for the underdog, are 
exhausting.  I'm sure that Jerry Brady put in some 18-hour days, meeting and 
speaking with literally thousands of people.  Unless you had a private 
audience with him, I imagine he was swept up in a crowd of people and, 
understandably, was unable to grant special "face time" and hand-shaking 
gentlemanly sincerity to you and the scores of other people around him.  
It's hard to believe that a man who is willing to be scrutinized, tested, 
tossed and battered for a grueling campaign against pretty overwhelming odds 
would be judged by one person's single experience with him.  If that's what 
people's votes are based on, then I ought to take back mine from Shirley 
Ringo -- last time I saw her, I really needed a hug and didn't get one.

Of course, I proudly voted for Shirley and contributed to her campaign.  And 
as someone who's been told she shakes hands "like a guy" -- whatever that 
means -- I really value those straightforward indicators of engagement and 
sincerity.  But it strikes me as more than a little odd that you would not 
only base your vote on a handshake, but also that you would proudly proclaim 
such.

A limp handshake and the inability to look me in the eye.
Both, to me, show a lack confidence. That lack of confidence will lead to 
waffling and paying more attention to "whats popular" rather than "whats 
right".
I'd like my candidates to have the spine to stand up for what they believe 
is right, the pollsters, consultants and "experts" be damned. (Of course, 
having them generally in line with my view is a plus.)
In other words, I want them to lead.
