I find it amazing that with all the information we have access to online, that it can still be so hard to find out about candidates. I was so shocked when the once prestigious Governor Mark Sanford, who many believed would run in the 2012 presidential race, became known as a common adulterer with a mistress in Argentina.
Isn't it amazing how little we know about the individuals to whom so much power is given?? BHO is the obvious big case, but there are so many other examples.
I think it people need to take the time to research candidates and part of the research is reading forums like FR where other researchers can post their results.
My initial rejection of Medina was due pro-legalisation stance of drugs. I was a child of the sixties and saw many families destroyed by the drug use of their children as well as themselves. It is not negotiable.
Legalization would be a disaster.
