I will not be voting for Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. this fall. He does not deserve a second chance at running this state.

But that does not exclude me from defending his running mate, Mary D. Kane, and the publicity about her involvement with her husband's business.

So what!

We are voting for or against a candidate based on their ability to lead us. We must concentrate on their talent and ability to inspire us and not be attentive to some media matinee.

My eternal frustration is with the uninformed voters of this nation. We want to take back our country, to what? Horse and buggy days?

We have no skill in making political decisions based on our "personal" research. No!

"Mom and Dad belonged to this or that party, I am sticking to what I know." Boo Hiss!

Wake up folks! We are taking our kids in a future that none of us can imagine. All voters must take time to study potential leaders for their farsightedness, not just for our own "immediate" needs.
