The current Presidential Campaign cycle of '08 appears to have produced an assortment of candidates like a small box of "Whitman's Samplers" chocolate candies. (It is note worthy to recognize that the word 'candidate' has 'candi -date' like 'candy' and 'date'. I guess we are suppose to entertain the idea of voting for any candidate for a period of time before we decide to choose one). Like those boxes of bite-site candies, we've a limited number to choose from and we try them all-knowing that they're all flavored chocolate while some are nutty, some are too sweet and some appear to be just right but not recognizing which one was really "the best" until after it's too late and they're all gone. Let's not miss the opportunity to select "the best" candidate while sampling all the others. After the '08 Presidential Primaries, we may experience that euphoric feeling like we get after eating all those chocolates but not really electing "the best"!
Before we let this happen, we need to put our own selfish interests (not issues) aside while allowing politicians' to be politicians', leaders', to be leaders' and voters' to be voters'.
