David Lewis, african american, appointed to statewide office by Joe Kernan…works for Chase Bank now. Young, very smart, politically savvy, positive outlook, great looking family, friends with all factions, he would be a great candidate.

E-Gad! I’ll need to wait to try & take Rishawn seriously. Wait until he writes for a publication related somehow to actual journalsim. The American Spectator? An even sadder publication than the Star!

Abdul,
Thank you for providing this unique and daresay, thought provoking analysis written by Mr. Biddle. I am regularly reminded about the fallacies promulgated by those entities attempting to lead us away from taking the “road less traveled.” Please be mindful, that as a community, we took that very important intrepid step in the right direction once before and I remain faithful that we will do it again. Give my best to Mr. Biddle and thanks again for the prespective.

Money matters 100% in campaigns. Whether it is money spent on campaigning or money forcibly removed from citizens by the government is the deciding factor.

HFFT, you’re right; you don’t need money to win political races. All you need is an incumbent opponent who champions an income tax increase in the same year your constituents suffer a property tax increase and within a few years of your state levying a sales tax increase. But since we’re not likely to see THAT scenario again any time soon, I’m guessing money still matters in campaigns.

HFFT…Sorry to say but you are so wrong. It will always take money and plenty of it. Courage and heart alone only works in OZ.

Courage and heart. That’s all that is needed. The rules are changing. It looks like you no longer need money to win political races.

No matter which party you affiliate yourself with, I’m thinking that “independent” thinking is quietly discouraged. A political leader (at whatever level) comes to some sort of decision and then further discussion is ignored, insulted or dismissed. Too bad our political society has been driven so far away from the ability to coexist while still disagreeing on some issues.

Does “if you’re not with us, then you’re against us” sound familiar? Attitudes like that are not confined to any one point of view, or political affiliation. The mere concept of a “Whip” in Congress says volumes about what political parties think of independent thinking.

Offhand, I couldn’t say who did or did not benefit from a political association with Rep. Carson. But, there does seem to be some unspoken agreement which would perforce narrow the Democratic field somewhat.

I think that whatever else Rep. Carson is, monster isn’t one of them.

Rishawn wrote it like he would never had been allowed to write it at the Rag, I mean the Star.
