In a perfect world . . . politicians would be honest and run an honest campaign. I was interested in the results of the Iowa Straw Poll that was held today; especially since I watched the Republican debate last Thursday. Most politicians portray themselves as being honest and only concerned with "the good of the people;" however, what they really mean is they're only concerned with the "good of their pocketbook." It was interesting to see that Michelle Bachman won the straw poll, even though straw polls such as this one hold no bearing on the actual election. I would love to see a woman in the White House, but I'm not sure that will happen, especially on the heels of the Obama fiasco. Unfortunately, as with other women running for public office, Bachman will be forced to answer questions that male candidates will not. She will be scrutinized for the way she dresses, for the way she wears her hair, and for every misspoken word.
In a perfect world . . . candiates wouldn't attack each other; they would stick to the issues.
