http://www.delawareonline.com/article/20101027/OPINION11/10270308/1004/OPINION/Which+candidate+will+make+the+hard+choices?Which candidate will make the hard choices?his year's race for the U.S. Senate has brought Delaware more attention than it ever imagined. It seems the whole world wants a say in what happens here.
That may be flattering but in the end, the choice is up to Delaware's voters.
We believe that choice should be a simple one, both for Delaware's future and the country's.
Republican Christine O'Donnell and other tea party candidates around the country are offering voters a simple wish list: Cut taxes and everything will be fine. Accept their interpretation of the Constitution and our problems will disappear.
Ms. O'Donnell offers no blueprint and acknowledges no hazards to her plan. She says nothing about paying for Social Security or Medicare or Medicaid.
She wants to honor veterans but is quiet about the military budget or the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
To govern, as John Kennedy said, is to choose.
Anyone looking at today's crisis, and anticipating tomorrow's, knows those choices will be hard.
<<<<<snip>>>>>>
The next U.S. senator will be involved in making policies dealing with a hostile, nuclear-armed Iran.
What kind of person do we want making those decisions?
Delaware voters should choose Chris Coons.
