  • Pre-Super Tuesday Revisions

    Who knew that after posting on Friday I would need to update all three of my recent posts before we arrived at Super Tuesday. On my candidate ranking my top two candidates have dropped out.

  • John Kasich

    I anticipated a decent amount of political experience but was surprised to find even more political experience than expected. Even when we need a change of course experience is a valuable commodity.

  • Lawrence Lessig

    I wanted Lawrence Lessig to be a viable candidate but I can’t let hope override the facts.

  • Ted Cruz

    Ted’s values centered approach and his open “judge me based on my past actions” attitude make him a candidate deserving of consideration.
