<P>Don,</P>
<P>Not sure I am following you: </P></DIV>
<P><EM> "I agree with everything you say except about endorsement postings. I think a bunch of "please vote for so and so" postings just eat up the available bandwidth." </EM></P>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>I think that endorsements are opinions, nothing more. I think they are important, at least to me. Endorsements let me know who thinks the best candidate is. If I don't know anything about Candidate A or Candidate B it is hard for me to make a judgment about someone. But, if a person I know prefers candidate B over candidate A it allows me to make some judgments. If a conservative religious person likes Candidate A and the liberal or moderate person likes Candidate B, I would imagine that helps many people make up their mind. </P>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>But the bottom line is the more I can hear about a candidate the better. I prefer to hear the endorsements of people I disagree with than to not hear any at all. Getting the opinion of someone I don't know does not change my opinion, but getting the opinion of someone I do know about someone I don't really helps.</P>

<DIV></DIV>>Yeah, I can see your point (really). But it seems to be a
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>small one. I agree with everything you say except about
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>endorsement postings. I think a bunch of "please vote for so
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>and so" postings just eat up the available bandwidth. If you
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>think different, okay. On everything else you mentioned, we
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>>agree. I hope that doesn't make you uncomfortable.
