I’m from a relatively small town in Mississippi, so you can imagine when election time comes there is a lot of “goings on”. I live about 2 miles outside of town so we are assigned a supervisor that is supposed to speak for their district. Every year they come to the house give me a card and tell me they would appreciate my vote. My question is who the hell are you? If you want my vote it takes more than just telling me you would appreciate it. I want to know what you are going to do to improve upon the position you are running for. Same for elections statewide. I don’t want to vote for someone based on what their commercials say. How come there aren’t more debates. Now days it seems everyone has to agree on where and when the debate will be and who should and should not be allowed to speak. First off, if you are on the ballot you are in the debate. Secondly it should be mandatory not elective. State debates for major positions should be run on tv. Why not PBS. Seems like a good of a place as any. Don’t tell me the regular networks couldn’t make a few bucks on something like that too. Local elections should have town hall debates. Both should include questions from the state’s voters. If you think you can decide who is the best candidate by watching their commercials or reading their signs i feel sorry for you. You need to care more than that. And to the candidates: Tell me what you are going to do if i vote for you. Don’t just ask for my vote just cause you come to my house.
