<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well, I appreciate your promise not to run
for office, and you did generate some interesting discussion with your
"limp handshake" piece. Folks, including myself, tend to bandy around the
terms "liberal" and " conservative" a little too freely, I think. In most
cases, I would hope, it's the issue that determines our stance, and not some
sort of group orientation. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Interesting your perspective on political
advertising. Those of us who work with local and state candidates feel we
cannot afford not to do it even though it takes most of our campaign
budget. And we do try to choose the words that give the reader a sense
of who a candidate is and what she stands for. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Given the free speech issues do you have any ideas
on ways to make political advertising more honest? Have you ever turned
down a newspaper ad because it was ethically suspect? I know you probably have
legal boundaries relating to libel, but I was just wondering about those that
might be personal or perhaps newspaper policy.</FONT></DIV>

<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>
