US Senate

So I was told about this woman running for US Senate against Harold Ford Jr. since Frist wasn't going up for reelection. Her name is Rosalind Kurita. I believe that she has some interesting ideas and the only idea that I do not necessarily agree with on her website is about the "war on terror". You and I should know that there cannot be a "war" on terror since terror isn't a country and congress has not declared war. That being said, I have to say that everything else covered on her website in the issues section falls under what I feel is important and what should be addressed. I don't like being uneducated about candidates running in an election, especially when I may be voting for one or the other. I recently decided to check out each candidate's website and cmopare them issue by issue. I started at Kurita's website. I read the entire issues section and then decided that to be fair I would read Harold Ford Jr.'s website since my mother seems to be a supporter of his for one reason or another. Well, it turns out that in Harold Ford Jr.'s issues section, which I find to be the most important section on a candidate's website, is "coming soon". He does, however, have a blog on blogger.com. I found this blog to be next to worthless in my quest to find out if Harold Ford Jr. is a good candidate. It's mostly finger pointing.

Now here I sit wondering what kind of candidate one is and only having read the other's website. Luckily, I may get to talk to or at least see Kurita at an event in Memphis. I'm really looking forward to this. I know almost next to nothing about politics and I have never been interested because I have seen so much corruption and greed that it gives me no hope that there can be a straight and intelligent candidate for any position. I think I would like to be more involved. At least to know which candidate I should give my support to and perhaps in the future I can make some sort of impact for the better.
