Desperate attempts to stifle people and their candidates are STUPID
Advertisements [?]
We have a fine field of candidates. I believe very shortly, that field will begin narrowing and each candidate as they withdraw will throw their support behind the candidate that mostly closely matches their ideas for policy.

For people to act in desperation, only demonstrates how little faith they have in their own political sense.

Each of the candidates has created participation in the process where none existed prior to their candidacy.

Each of them appeals to a block of voters that may have felt shut out of the process prior to this point.

Each has gotten considerable AIR TIME..something that WOULD NOT have occurred had there been fewer candidates.

The motives of people who will tear us apart should be viewed with suspicion. Especially in our own ranks.

When someone calls for you to declare war on ANY candidate's supporters....MOTIVE should be the first thing that is suspect.
