Primaries in Perspective

I would like to post this comment:

"I respect Senator Purgason and Congressman Roy Blunt for many reasons and one of the reasons is the way they are conducting themselves in the GOP Primary race for U.S. Senator.

They are talking about solutions to issues, not attacking each other. They rightly point out the differences between their positions on issues if they differ and also compare their positions to the probable candidate's positions in November.

I believe the stronger Blunt campaign will prevail but also believe the people in Purgason's Senate district will show their recognition and support for his very good record of public service and representation of them with strong support in August.

Roy will be the first to congratulate Chuck for a quality campaign and Chuck will be the first to build support among his followers for a successful campaign in November.

The GOP Auditor's race is an ongoing, living example of just the opposite approach to campaigning. Both candidates are well qualified for the office but are acting like complete (idiots) in regard to their civil respectd for the other candidate."

I can't say it any better. The point that I have been making with the Auditor race is let's talk about solutions and not attack each other constantly. Of course, sometimes pointing a negative out in the other campaign is the right thing to do. The goal is defeat Democrats, not smear another conservative. The same point can be carried to every primary across the country, including our own MO7 Congressional race.
