But there are other dimensions to the political mix: moral, international/ foreign/domestic, and I'd imagine even much more. Some have made morality the deciding issue, some have made domestic social issues the trump issue, and the rhetoric makes those out to be the "only" issue.

This is the first year ever that I have not known how to vote. I have been encouraging people to remember that the work of the gospel will not be accomplished in Washington. It will be accomplished in each of our communities by our churches. That may sound like a cop-out, but it is the heart of the gospel message. It’s been interesting political year for me.

And i'm with you, DJ, on the need for real prioritization of social issues (and also of global problems). For too long, the only issues that get any attention are those that are important to campaign donors, "photogenic", and/or some celebrity's pet issue. if businesses can use such sophisticated product portfolio analysis to decide which new products to pursue, shouldn't the gov utilize the same thinking to decide how much $ & time should go to AIDS, famine, landmines, clean water, nanotech, etc etc... <br /> <br /> looking forward to see you at the Leaders Forum in Chi-town. i’m with will in that politics can change behavior, but it can’t change hearts.
