Before I would endorse or vote for him I would need to find out how he stands on a number of issues I care deeply about. <BR/> I know very little about Sullivan and would need to know much more about him before I could decide. I have a great deal of respect for Mike Boland but I could not say whether I will still like him best after I have learned more about the other candidates.<BR/> I don't agree with the newspaper pundits that say the Democrats should quickly agree on a candidate and make a public show of unity. I think the people of the 17th District should see a process of 400 precinct committeement hearing from all the candidates and making up their minds in a democratic and open process. The voters should have the imprssion of the eventual Democratic candidate having emerged as choice of a broad range of Democrats rather than being picked by party bosses in a smoke-filled room.<BR/><BR/>That's my opinion. After all, I believe in democracy. I am not looking for a leader to tell me what I should believe and who I should support.Dave Barretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04289405215433867162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13090306.post-1144978942022080192006-04-13T20:42:00.000-05:002006-04-13T20:42:00.000-05:00Hey Dave, enough of this.
