You know why I love politics?

Ever since Sarah Palin got nominated, I've been hearing talk about her from every direction. Mostly from Democrats, which isn't surprising considering where I live. Damn hippies. Of course, if you ask anyone in San Francisco, the election is already over. So the normal things I hear

THANK you. This is so true. No matter what you say, the flip can be said for the other side, if we're talking about negative things. I, too, want to hear why someone's candidate is better . . . I posited the question the other day - and no one replied . . . not ONE person. I'm one of those folks in the middle that want to hear some clear answers.

I think that the reason no one responded to your post (and I'd bet the reason that not many people will respond substantively to Andy's post) is two-fold

I can understand and appreciate that. And I pretty much agree with those viewpoints actually myself. I'm very much in the middle and have gone through the various policies that each candidate has addressed but didn't see the how. I think a concern I have that I haven't heard addressed too much has to deal with government employees and related policies which will directly impact my work.

And my post actually asked people on either side of the fence to share with me what policies they agree with - it wasn't democrat or republican specific.

What I think I'd really like, which was what I was really going for overall - is if people have resources that they refer to other than their candidates websites and can point me there - as I want to be as educated as possible on either side.

You leave out my favorite option:

Not liking either VP nom.

Yeppers. And, since Cthulhu ain't running this year, I'll just have to choose the lesser of two evils.
