Why should anyone give money to the multitude of actual Democratic candidates if they don't know it will go toward creating a Democratic winner?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21177018.post-1140510900178038302006-02-21T03:35:00.000-05:002006-02-21T03:35:00.000-05:00You know, that's a great point.

Leon Koziol seems too dangerous to deserve my support, and I don't think I could bring myself to vote for him in the general election.24thIndependenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16411599694795845193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21177018.post-1140490888379368452006-02-20T22:01:00.000-05:002006-02-20T22:01:00.000-05:00If by some miracle Koziol were to be the nominee, ...If by some miracle Koziol were to be the nominee, should the other Democrat candidates be held to such a pledge?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21177018.post-1140364985757286412006-02-19T11:03:00.000-05:002006-02-19T11:03:00.000-05:00I think there are three simple questions that shou...I think there are three simple questions that should be asked of each Democratic candidate.<BR/><BR/>One. Are you going to run full time for this office or not? These are the big leagues and require a full time campaign to be successful.<BR/><BR/>Two. Will you support the winner of the primary or the last remaining Democratic candidate publicly, personally and loudly? The questions raises the issue of whether this is about the party and issues or whether this is a personal quest for glory.<BR/><BR/>Three. If you are not the Democratic nominee, will you quickly give all your remaining campaign funds to the Democratic nominee who remains or wins the primary? This is a heavily Republican District and it's going to take a huge amount of money to be successful against Boehlert as the incumbent or even a new Republican face.<BR/><BR/>Once these basics are out of the way, things like positions on issues and personal strengths can come into the picture. Before that, it's really a question of whether you are a credible candidate worthy of the support of 24th District voters.<BR/><BR/>Why don't you call or write each of the candidates and report back the results to us Jon. That would be a huge first step.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
