<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hello All,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>This has been an interesting thread of "why" in voting.
One of the measures I use with anyone from friends to candidates is the ability
to listen fully and correctly. For example, I spent last Saturday afternoon with
a probably not so former fairly key player in Idaho politics, someone with I'm
sure more clout even now than I am aware of. The bulk of the conversation
concerned Idaho politics and education. He spoke succinctly and less than I did
(no surprise if you know me), and clearly listened to what I said. He
belittled no one, and his worst condemnation of someone was that so-and-so
"wasn't up to the task." He also has a good sense of humor. May such qualities
persist.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Well yes, given Kai's openness I'd say he'd be more
straightforward and articulate than other candidates we have had.
And if he got elected you'd then know whether he kept his promises or not, and
if he didn't why not. I have a touch of arthritis, so I'd be happy to forego
the firm handshake.... but I don't factor a firm handshake or direct eye
contact into my criteria when I decide on whom to vote. I consider
other factors much more important--the issues you mentioned, for
one. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I think Moscow would be dang lucky if someone like Kai ran for
office. At least you would know where he stood in issues and didn't
make promises he couldn't keep. Plus, pretty sure he would look you in
the eye and shake your hand.....firmly.</DIV>

<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>

<DIV>
<DIV>Sue, you can be absolutely assured that I will never, I repeat, never
run for office.</DIV>
<DIV>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.)</DIV>
<DIV>Hmmmmmm, pretty conservative, huh?</DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV>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.)</DIV>
<DIV>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".</DIV>

<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>
