I love it! I hate the whole two party system and how it narrows our choices! It would be wonderful to see 6 viable candidates with different views for each position. But I know that is never likely to happen!

Perhaps you are right and I should not have specified the party, even though what I said was correct. The fact that I mentioned I was doing research on the candidates and amendments prior to voting should have clued you in that I have looked at their stance on the issues. But I know talking about politics online puts everyone's back up, so it's all good. Now you know!

It depends on the candidate, of course! But also, it's nice to have options in an election, so that we can choose who we believe to be the best person for the job, and 2/3 of the current candidates are the only options.

Absolutely. I don't want to be that person! But I haven't heard of any write-in candidates, so I was hoping someone might know if there are any!
