My judgement is impaired: Sell me your candidate!
Advertisements [?]
I am out of sorts and not thinking straight. I'm watching the Game Show network. What horrible turn of events could be responsible? My candidate dropped out today! Boo hoo!

But lucky you, you now have the opportunity to take advantage of my despair and sell me your guy. I have one caveat though...

There were specfic issues that, as an MD, I felt Howard Dean was uniquely qualified to address. For one thing, I think that the global spread of AIDS has the potential to ravage the entire world if current "standards" of care and education continue as they are. I am pretty convinced that had Dean made it to the White House, he would have recognized this and made it the priority I believe it is. Also, since I suffer from clinical depression, I think he would have done a lot as an advocate for mental health treatment --- just like with AIDS, the current climate of care, education, funding, etc., are just not acceptable to me.

Those are two of my major pet issues. I am already aware of where the candidates stand on the war, taxes, healthcare, etc., but I don't know where they stand on these issues. I'm sure they're all sympathetic, but I'm curious which of them would be likely to make these issues the priority that I feel they need to be.
If there are resources for each of the remaining candidates that lay out their positions in any kind of detail I'd appreciate it.

Thanks, and congratulations on making it this far.
