It's not clear to me, either, but they're not in my district or state so that's not a decision I will have to make. If either were in my district, I'd certainly have to weigh the choices across the board.

It's the classic political dilemma. Which candidates have integrity? Which candidates would most reflect my views and principles? What choices do we have? Whose opinions and recommendations do we trust, if anyone's?

In my district, we had DENNIS! Kucinich for years upon years, and I dutifully voted for the GOP opposition, since there was never a viable, electable other choice. GOP never could field a great candidate, either. FINALLY, the GOP regained the Ohio governorship, as well as the State House and State Senate (chalk one up for the fly-over counties!)...the newest census came out, the districts were re-drawn, and as appalling as that whole process is, I would take John Kasich as Governor over Ted Strickland and Jim Renacci as U.S. Representative over Dennis Kucinich ANY time, whether I agreed with them on each and every policy issue or not (and if NOT, I would certainly let them know: at the state level/constituency, I think you have a fighting chance of being listened to)...
