<html><div style='background-color:'><P>Sue, you can be absolutely assured that I will never, I repeat, never run for office.</P>
<P>As for supporting "conservative issues", I came out in support of Moscow building a new high school, I don't believe it is the government's business what happens between consenting adults in the privacy of their own homes and I believe stem cell research is needed. Oh yeah, I listen to NPR regularly and love the arts. (I married my first wife on the main stage of the Spokane Civic Theatre, where I was active, both onstage and off for many years.)</P>
<P>Hmmmmmm, pretty conservative, huh?</P>
<P>It IS true that I support stemming the flow of illegal immigrants, support the right to bear arms, small government and believe in the personal responsibilty that goes hand in hand with personal freedom.</P>
<P>Above all, I believe in the right of free speech. What disconcerts me, is the fact that I see both conservatives AND liberals that would love to silence any opposing speech. (Recent events at WSU come to mind.)</P>
<P>It scares the hell out of me when people vote for a party, not a candidate. Maybe basing, in part, my choice on a handshake isn't the best, but it's a heck of a lot better than basing it on advertising. Words on a page describing a candidates platform, don't convey a sense of "who" that candidate is. In the end it comes down to one's own "gut instinct".</P>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sheesh....sort of reminds me of my grandfather who wouldn't vote for Roosevelt because he was a "cripple" then later wouldn't vote for Adlai Stevenson because a "divorced man is living proof he can't even manage his family." Given your propensity to support conservative issues why not just be straightforward as you usually are? If you ever run for office I promise you my vote for the opposition won't be because you smoke. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV class=RTE>A limp handshake and the inability to look me in the eye.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>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".</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>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.)</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>In other words, I want them to lead.</DIV>
