If You Are Just Starting To Think About This Election… Clear thinking from John Mark Reynolds<\/a><\/p>\n

Normal people, those with actual lives, do not follow every poll on Real Clear Politics. If you have a good life, then it is likely that you are only vaguely aware that soon you will have to TIVO past even more political ads. You know there is an election this year, but like a trip to the dentist, you have put off the unpleasant task of deciding on a candidate. Fortunately for you, there are now only two candidates left with any chance of actually being the president.<\/p>\n

Many (if not most) American voters only know three things about the two guys running for President:<\/p>\n

1. Neither of them is named Clinton or Bush.<\/p>\n

(A pause to thank God for His mercies.)<\/p>\n

2. One is young and cool.<\/p>\n

3. The other is old and a war hero.<\/p>\n

Blessed is the man who does not check Rasmussen Report three times a day. If you are this person, congratulations on living a peaceful life. The genius of the republic is that it allows a man to be a patriot without being a politico.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There is more, and if you’re not really up to speed on the candidates, you really need to read all of this<\/a>.<\/p>\n
