It's really hard to sort through the junk in the news or what seems to be passing for news these days, especially during election season. I vote based on issues instead of any straight ticket. It's actually very tough work to get a firm understanding of candidate positions.
I thnk it's real unfortunate politicians are getting brought down by what anyone reasonable would term a personal matter. But that's the way it is.
You can count on two things. First, negative campaigning stinks, but works. And the other is that Americans hate wars. I read that in the election following Pearl Harbor, FDR's party lost 45 seats in Congress. That amazed me.
