The sad thing is that this issue is like so many others, too politically hot to be spoken of with the clearity and frankness that Michelle has used in this article. That is, those who run and are able to be elected seem to have to forgetten common sense to make themselves voter friendly. That is a very sad commentary on things, but nothing new. I sit here today watching the Super Tuesday commentary and the projected outcomes seem sad to me. I am afraid that there are not enough voters out there to elect Michelle, so what are we to do?
