He isn't a "politically correct" career politician.

It was Strayhorn who didn't know the Mexican President.

If you like his whole platform then you either didn't really pay that much attention to it or you are extremely gullible.

A career politician? our governor makes $115,345 a year. Every canidate probably can and does make more per year in their other profession. You have a career to make money. These canidates don't need the governance to make money...they already have it. Maybe he should try and be a bit more "politically correct" I don't like him blatantly smoking...our governor may not have much power but he is still a role model...and our school children are likely to see images of him, smoking. Also if he is sooo against lobbyists, why is he supporting one of the most dominate lobbyist group in the country? tobacco companies.
FYI: Our legislators only make $7,200 a year...no I did not forget a zero.

You're right on that...I'm sorry. She's a mess isn't she?

That's $115k taxable income.

You're kidding, right? The Gov smoking cigars would harm the children? He's lobbying for tobacco companies? Good grief.

I said he was supporting them. Do you think he will support an increased tax on tobacco? And yes you should watch your image when you are a public figure....and although it might not "harm" children, it certainly won't send them a good message.

Do you think the Gov pays for his cigars? They come with the state humidor, don't they. That would be part of the non-taxable income.

You're absolutely right. Watching their public image is crucial, because the majority of the voters are more worried about image and political correctness than what kind of job their actually doing.

They can tell you how he dresses, how good his table manners are and whether or not he smokes. Just don't ask them where he stands on issues or how he voted on the bills that control their very lives.

Elect scum.....but handsome, well dressed, well mannered scum......for the children.
