"no mention of solutions"
Really, ...Syd<br /><br />"no mention of solutions"<br /><br />Really, is it necessary?<br /><br />No kidding now. I am not too keen on precise solutions for a country that we do not know how bad shape is in. I prefer to look for creative candidates than those with already a list. True, lists tend to do well in general elections, but in primaries, this far ahead, it could even be counter productive during the campaign as they may be forced to change the list.<br /><br />Fortunately the MUD has written a list which is separated from the individual candidates and as such it is assumed that the winner in February will only be requested to pick in the list what is convenient for his campaign.<br /><br />Well, I hope any way....Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128609182544333477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-6131463301495356772011-12-16T15:56:28.940+01:002011-12-16T15:56:28.940+01:00For the first time since the candidates began to &...For the first time since the candidates began to "come out", I am changing my mind about MCM. She may not win the primaries, but with this interview (and I wish I'd seen all of it), she has come close to gaining my vote. <br /><br />MCM cuts through the BS, her comments focus well on the problems, her eyes focus well on the moderator and the viewers, throughout this condensed version of her presentation. <br /><br />Alas, there was no mention of solutions.sydnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080946.post-91301467281645345572011-12-16T14:53:55.203+01:002011-12-16T14:53:55.203+01:00Forgot to mention something:

She has an ideology, she knows what it means to govern a modern country and she has a vision.<br /><br />I really like her.<br /><br />My old posts<br /><br />http://cuentosintrascendentes.blogspot.com/2011/01/bravo-maria-corina.html<br /><br />http://cuentosintrascendentes.blogspot.com/2011/07/viene-maria.htmlBrunihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08849365409552756232noreply@blogger.com
