That is one of the problems with focusing so much attention and national and presidential politics Ray Send a noteboard - 01/02/2012 05:21:25 PM
The average person can't have much real impact nationally but they can on small local politics. People are unhappy with the educations system so they demand a president who will focus on education but then they never even bother to show and vote for their local school board. A lot of time the decisions that affect us the most personally are being made at the local level. Besides a lot of national politicians start at locally so you can work to improve that you will help to improve what works its way to the top. Being part of the grassroots does give you some voice.

In this case they're a pretty good measure. Tom - 30/01/2012 02:09:30 PM 438 Views
The general predictability of our voting process kind of bothers me LadyLorraine - 30/01/2012 02:21:58 PM 542 Views
It's much the same elsewhere - just not as obvious because there's no electoral college. Legolas - 30/01/2012 10:47:15 PM 546 Views
The French are doomed. Tom - 31/01/2012 12:32:46 AM 439 Views
And crazy. Did you see that Merkel is going to campaign in France for Sarkozy? Rebekah - 02/02/2012 12:02:55 AM 406 Views
I for one did not see that... surely that can't help his chances. Legolas - 02/02/2012 06:33:56 PM 412 Views

What about Massachusetts? Great Lord of Chaos - 30/01/2012 03:55:46 PM 616 Views
If MA doesn't go to Obama, he may as well concede then and there. *NM* Legolas - 30/01/2012 04:26:37 PM 203 Views
I'm backing Romney currently but let me point out some stuff Isaac - 30/01/2012 12:18:41 AM 501 Views
Yeah, but if you looks at all of the other polls, this is pretty much in line..... Anonymous2000 - 30/01/2012 12:32:36 AM 418 Views

I do worry that the RINO hunters have done to much damage Ray - 02/02/2012 07:12:45 PM 441 Views
Traditionally vicious primaries don't do much damage Isaac - 02/02/2012 08:03:33 PM 456 Views
Rubio does seem like a winner, but I'd be interested to hear why you consider Christie a bad choice. Legolas - 02/02/2012 08:39:04 PM 433 Views
you have to ask what he brings to the table Ray - 02/02/2012 09:33:25 PM 481 Views
I don't think Christie could swing Jersey or will play as well on the national stage Isaac - 02/02/2012 10:36:02 PM 455 Views
Romney has the best chance of winning against Obama, but he's also the most like him. TaskmasterJack - 30/01/2012 12:20:26 AM 419 Views

I wouldn't rule out Paul's chances vs. Obama, either. Praziquantel - 02/02/2012 12:00:45 AM 665 Views
If Ron Paul is the republican nominee, he will be the next President. ranagrande - 02/02/2012 12:24:22 AM 511 Views
