Stupid controversies shed little light on candidates.
Geraldine Ferraro said this.

Obama's preacher said that.

Hillary's tax return.

Horse race. Florida & Michigan rules.

None of this gives any idea of what their position on issues are. Nor much information about character. Most of it is just race and gender gotcha.

I have to decide April 22 and I'm still on the fence.

2. I'll differ on tax returns, donor lists and privacy.
First - transparency as a policy

Second - corruption or the concern of corruption. Particularly when we're talking Dubai, Saudi Family, China, etc.
