Stating ones' opinion about a candidate is acceptable, having taken into consideration all other posting rules. "I'm supporting Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx for office and I'm doing so because" is your opinion and welcome. "Please support Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx for office" takes on an aura of advocacy and is not the best wording for the SOS forum It's a little more important to consider the wording in the thread titles than in the body also. And one last thing is that prominent associates in management should take extra care when stating personal support, because potential donors or grant managers might see that as the same as organizational support or advocacy. |

Do not support.
I believe it to be a waste of my time, money and energy to support a completely unqualified candidate who will not get more than 3% of the vote, and therefore will not even have an impact on the debate.

You really think that much? 3%! That kind of showing would be impressive.
On the other hand, adding "former candidate for California governor" might be an impressive addition to a resume too. |

I could see why she might think that, but I think many employers might just view that as eccentric behavior given the circumstances. Plus, why would someone hiring an employee consider their failures as a positive attribute?

I'm sorry, I should have been more precise. I don't believe the resume is for prospective employers. It's sort of a social experience.

I prefer to stick with who I will not vote for and I do not do that with everyone I disagree with, only the worst ones.

A political run such as Nightingale's could lead to a job working for the Republican party or some other entity.
It will be interesting to see where this leads Nightingale to and where it all ends. For the time being she has been able to rub elbows with Tancredo, Chuck Devore and who knows whom else. |

There are those who view this as a kind of surrender and think you should always vote for the lesser of two evils. But this can be an engineered process in which your political opposition wins by getting your support for somebody you don't really support on the thin chance that it moves you just a little closer to some political goal. This is how the "two party system" works, it poses a fake debate and tricks people into supporting one over the other on such empty promises.

The only way she is going to get 3% is if a lot of people go to the polls drunk and mark the wrong circle, thinking they are ordering a "Cheap Night and an Ale |
